The council declared Waskom a 'sanctuary city for the unborn.' It's reportedly the first Texas city to pass such an ordinance.
The five-member, all-male city council of Waskom, Texas, unanimously voted this week to turn the town into a “sanctuary city for the unborn” by banning most abortions within its city limits. It’s reportedly the first Texas city to pass such a mandate.
Mark Lee Dickson, director of East Texas Right for Life, an organization that opposes abortion, said there were concerns that a restrictive new “heartbeat bill” passed in Louisiana ― one of many such state laws that have recently swept across the country ― could drive abortion providers across the border.
