Texas city becomes largest ‘sanctuary city for the unborn’ after completely outlawing abortion
< < Go Back
Lubbock, Texas, became a “sanctuary city for the unborn” after residents voted to outlaw abortion completely — making it the 24th city in Texas to do so.
“Today is a victory for life and proof that the silent majority will still stand up for its Christian conservative values,” Republican state Rep. Dustin Burrows said after the Saturday vote.
Lubbock voters overwhelmingly supported Proposition A, which prohibits abortions without any exceptions, as 62% voted in its favor, and 38% of voters opposed it. It is the largest city in Texas to pass such a measure.
“It shall be unlawful for any person to procure or perform an abortion of any type and at any stage of pregnancy in the City of Lubbock, Texas,” the ordinance reads.
