Good afternoon, Mr. Shafaq Patel.

Please provide clarification for #3 in the request. The request asks for materials related to requests for information regarding abortion services. The request asks for any public records requests, as well as any provided responses or responsive materials, submitted by groups with a publicly known focus on anti-abortion and pro-life sentiments.
The request also lists:

#3. Any and all requests and documents with the following words:

ABORTION

PREGNANCY TERMINATION

TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY

UNBORN BABIES

INDUCED ABORTION

FETAL TISSUE

PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION

TELEMEDICINE

Do you want documents with the following words only if the documents were in response to requests from groups with a publicly known focus on anti-abortion and pro-life sentiments?

If there are documents with for example the word telemedicine and the document was not in response to one of the requests listed above, are you asking for that document? This portion is considered to be broad and burdensome because telemedicine may cover everything from Immunizations to Fluoride treatment.

I look forward to your response.

Kind Regards,

Deniece Griego-Martinez
Chief Records Custodian
