The small Texas town of Mineral Wells has no abortion clinics, but when mayor Christopher Perricone heard about Waskom, Texas—another Texas town with no abortion clinics that recently passed an ordinance to declare itself “a sanctuary city for the unborn”—he decided Mineral Wells should do the same.
That’s exactly what pastor Mark Lee Dickson—the head of Right to Life East Texas who also helped pass the Waskom city ordinance—wants. Passing an ordinance that laughs in the face of abortion’s constitutionality, could create a legal scuffle that goes all the way up to the Supreme Court. “Abortion is a great evil of our day and abortion should be abolished,” Dickson
local news station WFAA. “We want to see it outlawed not just in Waskom but in every single city. Not just Texas, but the entire United States.”Perricone is planning to present his plan to Mineral Wells’s city council on Tuesday, where he hopes everyone can “have a candid discussion” and “cordially come to the same conclusion I’ve come to from reading God’s word and seeing life from conception.”
