<p>The Democratic mayor of Alexandria, Virginia, has reportedly pulled a proclamation commemorating abortionists following pressure from pro-life critics and repeated requests for comment from The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>&#8220;This proclamation has now been pulled from the agenda on Tuesday at my request,&#8221; Mayor Justin Wilson said in an email obtained by The Daily Wire Friday afternoon.</p>
<p>He did not respond to repeated requests for comment.</p>
<p>Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin weighed in on the matter Friday to The Daily Wire, saying that he was &#8220;saddened and disappointed&#8221; that the proclamation had been considered.</p>
<p>&#8220;The far left liberals continue to dominate the Democrat party and remind everyone that they are completely out of touch with Virginia values,&#8221; the governor said.</p>
<p>The mayor acknowledged that there is &#8220;controversy associated with the provision of abortion services, but our effort is to recognize the healthcare workers for the work that they do in our City.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The proclamation you are referring to is part of a national effort, timed to occur 29 years after the date of the murder of an OB-GYN in Florida, who was murdered for providing legal and safe healthcare services,&#8221; he explained.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/virginia-dems-to-vote-on-unconscionable-abortion-provider-appreciation-day">had reported</a> Friday that the Alexandria City Council would consider <a href="https://alexandria.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=5471682&amp;GUID=B95247B1-5B44-4B73-83C7-90867A31B8C4">proposed proclamation</a> on March 8 that calls on Alexandria residents to “celebrate the courage, compassion, and the high-quality care that abortion providers and clinic staff provide.”</p>
<p>In a statement issued Friday, Arlington Bishop Michael Burbidge urged Alexandria residents to express opposition to the proclamation.</p>
<p>“Violence of every kind must be condemned, and abortion is a direct, violent attack on human life,” Burbidge said in a statement. “Proposing a celebration of abortion and an ‘appreciation day’ for those who destroy lives defies comprehension.”</p>
<p>“The City of Alexandria should instead do the opposite,” he continued. “It should celebrate all those who save, protect and care for human life. It should re-direct its focus toward recognizing and supporting both mothers and their children, as so many dedicated and compassionate people in Alexandria do each day.”</p>
