Texas City Votes To Become State’s First ‘Sanctuary City of the Unborn’

From Alabama to Georgia, from Louisiana to Missouri, there are pro-life measures being taken by conservative-leaning states to protect the lives on unborn babies. Leftists are boycotting states — threatening to leave or threatening not to come. They are calling names, protesting and claiming that those who dare save the unborn are racists, sexists and liars.

And if you think that all of that matters to the little town of Waskom, Texas, think again.

The five-member city council just voted unanimously Tuesday to designate Waskom as “a sanctuary city of the unborn” — the first of its kind in Texas, KTEK reported.
In front of a packed house of pro-life supporters, they passed an ordinance to prevent abortion providers from locating in their city.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waskom,_Texas

Waskom is a city in the U.S. state of Texas with a census-estimated population of 2,189 in 2018,[4] up from 2,160 residents in 2010.[5] It is located in Harrison County and lies about 19 miles (31 km) east of the county seat, Marshall, on U.S. Route 80 and Interstate 20. Waskom forms part of Greater Marshall, which is also included in the Longview-Marshall CSA in the Ark-La-Tex region. To the east are the cities of Greenwood and Shreveport, Louisiana.

History

The city of Waskom was established in 1850 as Powell Town, presumably for Jonathan S. Powell, who owned a land grant in the area.[6] It was founded as a midway point for an east-west (Dallas to Shreveport) cattle and cotton economic trail to the Red River in Louisiana.[6][7]

From 1850 to 1872 it had a post office as Powellton. In 1872, it became a main railroad station between Dallas, Texarkana, and Shreveport. The city's named was changed to Waskom Station in 1872 and to Waskom in 1881 after J. M. Waskom, a director of the Southern Pacific Railroad.[7][6]

In 2014 and 2015, Waskom High School won the 3A D2 state title in football.[8]

 After Waskom, East Texas anti-abortion group plans to extend 'sanctuary' status to other cities

Fresh from support this week from a Waskom City Council decision that has made worldwide news, the leader of Right to Life of East Texas said he plans to seek support from other area cities to make abortion illegal within their jurisdictions.

“A number of cities have contacted us,” said Mark Dickson, pastor at Sovereign Love Church in Longview. “They are really excited to see their cities become sanctuary cities for the unborn by both resolution and ordinance.”

The Waskom City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to make abortion illegal in the city and declared itself a “sanctuary city for the unborn” — becoming Texas’ first to do so.

Dickson said Right to Life of East Texas plans to approach other area city councils but would not name them “because that is still in discussion.”

Waskom Mayor Jesse Moore said Wednesday the city council was happy to support Right to Life of East Texas in the council’s historic move by adopting a resolution and ordinance.
