"I was so pleased that the Snyder City Council had a unanimous first reading vote for making us a Sanctuary City for the Unborn! Having 3 children, 10 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren, I am pro-life.

I am pro-life for a higher reason as well. The Word of God says we are our Creator’s workmanship in Psalm 139:12-13. Wonderfully knit together in our mother’s womb. Also, Proverbs 6:16-18 says that, of the seven things God hates, one is the shedding of innocent blood. Put it together, and it’s imperative that we honor life. It is a gift to cherish."

"I celebrate with our neighbors in Snyder in thanking their city leaders for standing up for unborn life. Many of us here in Jayton are praying for them, and I am glad our own City Council is considering declaring Jayton a Sanctuary City for the Unborn.

Passing this ordinance reflects who we are. It honors human life and gives mothers in difficult situations practical support. As our leaders continue these discussions, I pray Jayton remains a place where mothers and their unborn babies are truly protected."

Notwithstanding any other law, a civil action under this section may not be brought: against the woman upon whom the abortion was performed or induced or attempted to be performed or induced in violation of this ordinance, or against a pregnant woman who intends or seeks to abort her unborn child in violation of this ordinance.  ​

While it is true that abortion is outlawed in the entire State of Texas, from the point of conception, our work is far from over. Right now, throughout the State of Texas, women are being trafficked across our borders by abortion traffickers funded by abortion trafficking organizations still operating in our state. As a result, these women are being abused and traumatized by abortion across our Texas–New Mexico border and sent back to Texas for our cities and counties to deal with the aftermath taking place in our homes, our schools, our churches, and our hospitals.

The Sanctuary for the Unborn ordinances seek to protect these institutions by putting safeguards in place to protect men, women, and their children for years to come. These ordinances, which seek to close as many loopholes as possible, do not penalize women who seek or undergo abortions, but place the penalty on the party who most deserves it – the abortionist and the industry profiting from the unjust procedure, including abortion traffickers.​​

This is a common-sense measure with overwhelming support among Snyder residents. The county has already spoken clearly on this, and we are confident the city will do the same.
