While the federal government drags its heels taking action against abortion, cities in America are taking action themselves – while they’re still able.
Lebanon, Ohio, is the first city in the state to ban abortion and abortion clinics in city limits. It’s the 29th such “sanctuary city” in America, 26 of them in Texas. Mark Harrington, president and founder of Created Equal, launched the Ohio campaign this spring – and he explains that cities are acting because the federal government is delinquent in moving pro-life legislation.
“Joe Biden said that he wants abortion access in every ZIP code in America,” the pro-life leader points out. “And one thing that we can take from that is that we need to take him at his word that this is what they plan to do, and we need to be proactive and prevent that from happening.”

At the same time, says Harrington, an opportunity exists to overturn legal precedent that legalized abortion in 1973 at the U.S. Supreme Court – but threats on the horizon could impede that.
“The Biden administration has said they want to pack the court; they want to add two states to the union so they can have a permanent majority in the Senate; they want to end the filibuster; they want to rig our elections,” Harrington lists. “The tyranny that we’re experiencing is dizzying – so this is the time for cities to take action.”
Harrington also explains why smaller towns are becoming sanctuary cities for the unborn. He points out that if an abortion clinic in a large town is taking a lot of heat, sometimes it will reestablish itself in a smaller community nearby – and many of those communities don’t want to have a facility within their jurisdiction for terminating the lives of preborn babies.

Humm…. Does killing unborn babies sound like something a professed Catholic would want to door does it sound like the Devil and His Disciple??
Matthew 7:15-16
“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
16 By their fruit you will recognize them.
Romans 1:32
Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death,
they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Rumor has it Joe has been watching the Michael Jackson “Thriller” movie over and over, in order to learn how to moon walk on the lake of fire. He already has plenty of Coin saved for the boatman.
Since some of the latest round of spending bills, seemed to include funding for ABORTIONS IN OTHER NATIONS TOO, its not just “in every zip code” he wants to support it in…
Good for these cities for banning barbarism / murder of the helpless.
Pity its only 26 cities/towns that have done this..
A wise move for good reasons.
