The vote was unanimous with all four city council members in attendance voting for the ordinance. As a result of the majority vote, no unborn child will be able to be murdered by abortion within the city limits of Latexo, Texas. Councilman Harvey Bruner said, \u201cI\u2019m glad to see this movement going on and I\u2019m glad to be a part of this. I want this to spread across the state!\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The effort to see abortion outlawed in Latexo began earlier this year, starting with an interest meeting held on January 20th at Latexo Baptist Church. The Sunday morning prior to the gathering, Pastor Randy Redkey had prayed for an end to abortion. Days later he learned about an effort taking place to outlaw abortion in the City of Grapeland, located just eight miles north of his city. Pastor Redkey got involved in the effort to help see abortion outlawed in Grapeland (population 1,489) and was present on January 25th when the Grapeland City Council voted to become the 18th city in the nation to pass an ordinance outlawing abortion. Since then Pastor Redkey has followed the movement closely, celebrating the victories in Goldsmith, Carbon, Gorman, and Murchison.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Latexo is the sixth city this year to outlaw abortion. One factor which has contributed to these cities taking action at the local level has been the Biden Administration\u2019s very public commitment to see abortion access in every zip code in the United States. According to Pastor Redkey, this desire of the Biden Administration revealed just how urgent of a situation this was: \u201cThat is why it was so important to see this ordinance passed. We do not want a single child to ever be murdered by abortion here in the City of Latexo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Many residents throughout the City of Latexo share Pastor Redkey\u2019s view. Joe Galloway said, \u201cIt is murder. God says do not murder.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_241743\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-241743\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-241743\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/latexo-2--700x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/latexo-2--700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/latexo-2--300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/latexo-2--768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/latexo-2--500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/latexo-2-.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-241743\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Noah Pennington with Texas Right To Life, Pastor Randy Redkey with Latexo Baptist Church, and Mark Lee Dickson with Right To Life of East Texas outside of the Latexo City Hall.

We are called to love them and protect them, not murder them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Latexo Ordinance, which immediately outlawed abortion, has two major enforcement mechanisms: public and private. The public enforcement mechanism establishes fines against the abortionist and anyone who aids and abets the abortionist for any abortion taking place within the Latexo city limits. These fines cannot be imposed unless it is determined that (1) the individual seeking to impose the penalty upon the one who committed the unlawful act will not create an \u201cundue burden\u201d on women seeking abortions, (2) the person, corporation, or entity who committed the unlawful act of abortion lacks standing to assert the third-party rights of women seeking abortions in court, or (3) <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> and <em>Planned<\/em> <em>Parenthood v. Casey<\/em> are overturned. The public enforcement section of the ordinance is the only part of the ordinance which is not immediate, but dependent upon other factors.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Unlike the public enforcement mechanism, the private enforcement mechanism is immediately enforceable. Under \u201cPrivate Enforcement\u201d the Latexo Ordinance states, \u201cAny person, corporation, or entity that commits an unlawful act . . . other than the mother of the unborn child that has been aborted, shall be liable in tort to a surviving relative of the aborted unborn child, including the unborn child\u2019s mother, father, grandparents, siblings or half-siblings. The person or entity that committed the unlawful act shall be liable to each surviving relative of the aborted unborn child for (a) Compensatory damages, including damages for emotional distress; (b) Punitive damages; and (c) Costs and attorneys\u2019 fees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Section F-4 of the Latexo Ordinance reads, \u201cPrivate enforcement . . . may be brought against any person, corporation, or entity that commits an unlawful act . . . upon the effective date of the ordinance, regardless of whether the Supreme Court has overruled Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), or Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992), and regardless of whether the current jurisprudence of the Supreme Court permits states and municipalities to punish those who violate abortion prohibitions.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_241759\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-241759\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-241759 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/latexo-3-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/latexo-3-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/latexo-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/latexo-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/latexo-3-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/latexo-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-241759\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Councilman Bobby Roberts, Pastor Randy Redkey, Mayor Pro-Tem Dylis Bobbitt, and City Councilman Harvey Bruner pose for a picture together after the historic vote to outlaw abortion in Latexo, Texas. (Photo: Mark Lee Dickson)<\/p><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While the vote in Latexo was taking place, pro-life citizens throughout Texas were testifying on pro-life bills at a hearing at the State Capitol in Austin, about 180 miles southwest of Latexo. The most popular bill at the hearing was Senate Bill 8 \u2014 the Texas Heartbeat Act. The author of that Act, Senator Bryan Hughes, has been a strong supporter of the Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn ordinances.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Texas Heartbeat Act prohibits abortions after an unborn child\u2019s heartbeat is detected and enables anyone to sue an abortionist who commits an abortion after a heartbeat is detected. According to Texas Right To Life, if the Texas Heartbeat Act passes, the abortionist will be liable for \u201cat least $10,000 in damages, the cost of attorney fees, and injunctive relief.\u201d\u00a0 In addition to this, anyone who aids or abets an abortion that violates the Texas Heartbeat Act is liable and could face civil action.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Texas Heartbeat Act also is clear that the act \u201cdoes not create or recognize a right to abortion before a fetal heartbeat is detected\u201d and that it does not \u201crestrict a political subdivision from regulating or prohibiting abortion in a manner that is at least as stringent as the laws of this state\u201d adding even greater support under State Law for cities who wish to see abortion outlawed within their city limits.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Several prominent groups were present in Austin and spoke in favor of the Texas Heartbeat Act including Texas Right To Life, Students For Life, Concerned Women For America, Right To Life of East Texas, and Texas Values. The hearing, focusing on several pro-life bills, lasted 15 hours, from 9 AM to just after midnight. To the surprise of many, not one person from the pro-abortion side testified in person against the pro-life legislation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, this does not mean that the Texas Heartbeat Act was not met with any opposition. While the group Abolish Abortion Texas testified against the bill and stated clearly that they did not believe the bill went far enough, even they spoke favorably of the point of it protecting the pre-<em>Roe<\/em> statutes. Their legislative analysis reads, \u201cTexas pre-Roe laws were never repealed and provide a ban on abortion. Coupled with changes to the Homicide chapter of the Penal Code made in 2003, these laws generally make it homicide for anyone but the mother to perform or participate in an abortion . . . This bill expressly finds that these statutes have never been repealed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like Senator Bryan Hughes\u2019 proposed Texas Heartbeat Act, the Latexo Ordinance recognizes, \u201cThe State of Texas has never repealed its pre-Roe statutes that outlaw and criminalize abortion unless the mother\u2019s life is in danger\u201d and that \u201cThe law of Texas, therefore, continues to define abortion as a criminal offense except when necessary to save the life of the mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fight for the right to life, both on the state and local levels, is not expected to end anytime soon in Texas. More cities are expected to pass ordinances outlawing abortion in the coming weeks as they establish, under city law, what the laws of Texas state in the pre-Roe abortion statutes.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>For more information about the Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn initiative, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sanctuarycitiesfortheunborn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.sanctuarycitiesfortheunborn.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1616007366763000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFLyVZw9_lUbP6-KK0QtxL6R7SYrw\">www.<wbr \/>sanctuarycitiesfortheunborn.<wbr \/>com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Mark Lee Dickson is a Director with Right to Life of East Texas, a Pastor of SovereignLOVE Church in Longview, Texas, and the founder of the Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn initiative.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/liveactionnewsonline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cLike\u201d Live Action News on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0for more pro-life news and commentary!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this guest post are solely those of the author and are not necessarily reflective of Live Action or Live Action News.
