Council repeals "Pro Choice City" Resolution

The city of Philadelphia repealed an earlier resolution proclaiming itself as a Pro-Choice City.

Like most large cities, it's good to know that council doesn't have more pressing things to do like reducing crime, paving streets, fighting fires.

Seriously, I would be against a resolution making the city a "pro life" city. Is it any wonder people keep flocking to the suburbs as soon as they have the resources to do so. Just one of these headlines is enough for five people to shake their heads and decide to move to the 'burbs.

Roads, Fire, Police.

On the plus side, if they were actually doing serious government work, there would probably be a tax increase in the offing. So maybe they should just debate all those serious subjects important for city council's like the meaning of life, the lyrics of Pink Floyd songs, and the subliminal messages in Andy Warhol paintings.
