The Parental Notification Train is warming up betweenAurora's City Hall and Naperville's Municipal Center
passing through Planned Parenthood on the way
View Larger Map
Some think this is just about abortion and Planned Parenthood building the largest abortion clinic in the United States strategically between the 2nd and 3rd largest cities in Illinois. Some think this is about the legislative process. Some think this is about the courts, Roe v. Wade, judicial bypass and so on.
But, except for a few such as the local fishwrap (Beconfused) writers or those that think parents knowing what happens to kids is dangerous, for almost everyone else, this is really about protecting children and, yes, it's common sense.
With Aurora Alderman Rick Lawrence's introduction of the parental notification ordinance for the City of Aurora, followed by Alderman Chris Beykirch's support and resolution along with Alderman Richard Irvin, even with the narrowing of the resolution and sending a message to Planned Parenthood, it appears the vast majority of the public has jumped on board and even the Aurora City Council, not usually known for the doing the right thing, had to in this case and voted unanimously to support parental notification.
Now, city leaders in Naperville are preparing to move forward as well, which makes sense considering the Planned Parenthood facility happens to be between the two cities with a combined metropolitan population of over 400,000 people.
Naperville Councilmen Dick Furstenau and Darlene Senger are both planning to introduce their own parental notification resolution to further push this matter into prime-time focus of everyone in the State of Illinois and U.S. District Court Judge David Coar's courtroom to get action on protecting children.
The matter could be introduced as early as next week's meeting on Tuesday, December 4th and voted upon during the December 18th meeting.
In less than the time it takes Aurora's so-called corporation counsel Alayne Weingartz to comply with a document request or Aurora Mayor Tom Weisner to explain his "wildly important goals," the two largest cities in the State of Illinois outside Chicago will have spoken loud and clear.
We strongly commend the leaders of Naperville, one of the best places to live in America, for doing the right thing for families and children and encourage everyone in our local viewing audience to consider requesting the same in their own community.
>Additional stops on the Parental Notification Tour? North Aurora, Montgomery, Bolingbrook, Oswego, Sugar Grove, Plainfield, Warrenville, Wheaton, Geneva, Lisle, Batavia, Yorkville, St. Charles, your community...
The parental notification train is moving forward and will continue until there is action on this issue and children are protected.

That is really awesome! Naperville is going to kick this into even higher gear!
I'm glas that Openline finally admitted that steffffy and rikkky are "not usually known for doing the right thing."
7:46, please read that again. The comment was in reagrds to the Aurora City Council.
Aurora City Council, not usually known for the doing the right thing
Yawn! Openline find a new topic. This is really getting old.
Hello openline; try to get your facts straight. The third largest city is NOT naperville; it is Rockford. Mis-information by an unreliable "news" source
10:36
Wrong!
The metropolis Geogrgaphy/Population of Rockford is the second largest in the state. However, the actually population of Rockford makes it the fourh largest behind #2 Aurora and #3 Naperville.
You obviously must be a beacon boob!
I meant 11:36 OPPS!
Hey Lynda Elmore
You got the guts to tell the public how you would have voted on the resolution?
What a chump to play sick, leave the council meeting and miss the vote.
Come on Lynda you always like people to think your a hard a$$ lets hear you now. Your balloon is totally deflated in many peoples eyes.
Anyone who was at these recent city council meetings saw just how big of an issue this is. With Naperville validating the importance of parental notification, we could actually see pressure force this into action.
Hey Naperville residents: How can we help? Is there a time and place where the public can contribute input?
Poor Linda Holmes. She is going to now have to try and stop this in Naperville. Must suck to be against protecting children.
I think 7:46 is drinking the kool-aid again! This has been Rick Lawrence all along; it is Chris Bikirch that is trying to catch his coat tails and try to show that he actually does something besides a do nothing alderman. Richard Irvin has actually been at protests, where has CB been? He's been puffing himself up with hot-air.
The Beacon that wrote against parental notification really looks foolish now.
And the Republicans continue to bail out of Congress for lucrative lobbying jobs to avoid the Congressional ethics reforms against peddling influence that goes into affect on Jan 1st....and no overturn of Roe v Wade. It's the people voting for the empty promises of the Republican Party that look foolish. They don't care about your silly problem with abortion, only stealing your tax dollars.
I live in Oswego and have contacted the village president and trustees to pass a similar resolution and encourage all Oswego residents to urge them to do the same.
zzzzzz zzzzzzz
Naper vile is a vast wasteland of middle management, mini vans, and mindless consumerism. Beautiful place to pay too much for a poorly constructed house built with substandard wood that looks exactly like four or five others on your block and DuPage tax rates. Yuck!
I think what you described about Naperville is called neuvo riche or just plain tacky by Hinsdale or Lake Forest standards.
Rick Lawrence is a god and we should all worship him!
Yeah, I would much rather live in Aurora where there are fences in everybodys front yard to keep people out and where all of the houses are run down and falling apart. You just can't afford Naperville.

Have you checked with your church? Worshiping a golden ox like Rick Lawrence is called blaspheme.
Depends on which religion you subscribe to. If you are part of the mind-washing Rick Lawrence worshiping then your rewards will be worth it.
We have the largest abortion clinic in American sitting between Aurora and Naperville so if this isn't a good time to push the state to get parental notification working, then what is? Twelve more years from now?
Hey Lynda Elmore. You got the guts yet to let the people who elected you how you would have voted?
Jellyfish.
Last week my wife received a request from Chicago Planned Parenthood for a contribution to support their new Aurora abortion mill. She returned it, without a contribution, but a note telling them to remove her name from their mailing list and to never again send her a solicitation for a contribution. We should have splashed it with red ink to signify the innocent blood that is beibg shed from "only 10% of their humanitarian" services
Uh Oh predators and your abortionist pals. It looks like Daddy might find out after all. Your days are numbered and your opportunities are diminishing. Repent now before God wipes your remembrance from the face of the earth.
