please pass the resolution of proposed selective abortion bans, thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is maria, i work at forward together. a community based organization that works together to ensure families have the power and resources to make their needs. we ask all city council members to vote yes today. sex selective abortion bans are just about banning abortion period. they are not about gender equality and we know this because the people behind the bans are voting against women's rights in equality. they are hypocritical and thurt women in our communities. in particular these abortion bans exploit the asian community in order to further restrict access to abortion services. they person petuate, given

the many barriers that asian and pacific islanders from language translation to affordability, the last thing we need is racial profiling. it is unacceptable and unjust. in a city where the population is largely asian american, we need you to stand with the asian american community and all women in supporting this resolution. thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is chelsey here in support of the resolution of selective abortion bans. they are not about gender equality. they are about banning abortion. in fact the people behind these bands vote against

women's rights. in the assembly the author of the ban introduced this and voted against maternity conversations and -- coverages . the real issue is banning abortion rights for a woman to make a decision about when to become a parent. such measures are infringing on our basic benefit health care and to create yet another barrier to access reproductive health services. i stand here as an asian american and city of san francisco. >> not many days ago we were told to respect the cdc.

despicable. they are giving them vaccines to protect them. the scripture i want to talk about what we touched on last week. everything he did was a class act. he walks in to the synagogue and reads from i -- and this scripture is fulfilled in your ears. when paul got saved he said jesus appeared to him and testified that they saw the bright light but they didn't theory voice and he couldn't prove that voice because he proved it by going to the profit, malachi and all of them because every single book testifies something of jesus christ. the best is daniel 9 because

property gets you a ranking. if you want 40 people to change every year, you start at the top and you reward the people that have kept the fabric of our society as long as possible. and can be passed along in inheritance so it doesn't get lost. that kind of part one. rewards and part two is -- >> >>president david chiu: thank you very much. are there any other members who wish to speak in general public comment. seeing none, general public comment is closed. madam clerk. committee adoption. >>president david chiu: colleagues do we have any item
