The vote by the Poynor City Council, which took place at Poynor City Hall, was unanimous and was instantly cheered by all those in attendance. Mayor Dannie Smith shared, \u201cThe City Council and I are honored to make a stand for the unborn and stand up for the ones without a voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Poynor Ordinance states, \u201cIt shall be unlawful for any person to procure or perform an abortion of any type and at any stage of pregnancy in the City of Poynor, Texas,\u201d and \u201cIt shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly aid or abet an abortion that occurs in the City of Poynor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like others that have been passed, the Poynor Ordinance Outlawing Abortion contains two enforcement mechanisms. The public enforcement mechanism establishes fines against the abortionist and anyone who aids and abets the abortionist for any abortion which takes place within the City limits of Poynor. The ordinance states that these fines cannot be imposed unless it is determined that 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, 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 <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> and <em>Planned Parenthood v. Casey<\/em> are overturned.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While the public enforcement section of the ordinance is dependent upon future actions of the courts, the private enforcement section of the ordinance is not dependent upon future actions of the courts.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The private enforcement section 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 the mother and\/or father of the unborn child that was aborted. The person or entity that committed the unlawful act shall be liable to each surviving parent of the aborted unborn child for: compensatory damages, including damages for emotional distress; punitive damages; and costs and attorneys\u2019 fees.\u201d Any private citizen, including any surviving relative of the aborted unborn child, may also bring a civil enforcement suit against a person or entity that commits or plans to commit an unlawful act and shall be awarded injunctive relief, statutory damages of not less than 2,000 for each violation, and costs and attorney fees. According to Section F-4, this section is immediately enforceable. Section F4 states, \u201cThe citizen-suit enforcement action . . . may be brought on or after the effective date of this ordinance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Several residents of Poynor voiced support for the measure and many residents erected signs in their yards calling for their city to become a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. One resident said that the reason she wanted to see abortion outlawed in her city was because she believed \u201cGod made children for a reason\u201d and that \u201ckids belong on earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_245234\" style=\"width: 561px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-245234\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-245234 \" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poynor-sanctuary-city-sign-e1620931395251-700x672.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"551\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poynor-sanctuary-city-sign-e1620931395251-700x672.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poynor-sanctuary-city-sign-e1620931395251-300x288.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poynor-sanctuary-city-sign-e1620931395251-768x737.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poynor-sanctuary-city-sign-e1620931395251-500x480.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poynor-sanctuary-city-sign-e1620931395251.jpg 897w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 551px) 100vw, 551px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-245234\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Mark Lee Dickson<\/p><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Another resident calling for abortion to be outlawed in Poynor shared, \u201cI have experienced an abortion in my early twenties and I was never told the truth.

This is great news! Lubbock, Texas, just became a &#8216;sanctuary city&#8217; for the unborn. On Saturday, 62% \u2014 a supermajority \u2014 of the people voted to save the lives of babies and outlaw abortion within their city limits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Graham went on to share about the 42.7 million abortions which were committed worldwide in 2020 \u2014 a number which dwarfs the 8.2 million who died from cancer, 5 million who died from smoking, 1.7 million who died from HIV\/AIDS, and the 3 million who died from the coronavirus over the past year.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Graham continued, \u201cAbortion is the number one killer. If it were anything else we would be declaring a state of emergency, calling a press conference, or locking down.\u201d Graham concluded, \u201cThank you Lubbock and other cities that are taking this step to be a sanctuary for life.\u201d\u00a0According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jemimamcevoy\/2021\/05\/09\/facebooks-most-popular-posts-this-week-praise-for-ron-desantis-states-passing-controversial-conservative-bills\/?sh=21dbb7ab1f32\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jemimamcevoy\/2021\/05\/09\/facebooks-most-popular-posts-this-week-praise-for-ron-desantis-states-passing-controversial-conservative-bills\/?sh%3D21dbb7ab1f32&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1621005182775000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEptuy9porWMHcNQfA_EgRQ1ep_yg\">Forbes<\/a>, Graham\u2019s post was the most popular post on Facebook during the week of May 2, \u201cdrawing nearly 300,000 reactions, 9,000 comments and 22,500 shares.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Graham was not the only religious leader on the national scene to praise cities outlawing abortion.

He shared how he was proud that the City of Waskom, the first to outlaw abortion, is one of the cities in his diocese. Other cities in the Tyler Diocese which have outlawed abortion include the Omaha, Naples, Joaquin, Tenaha, Gilmer, Rusk, Gary City, Wells, East Mountain, Grapeland, Murchison, Latexo, and Poynor.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Omaha, Texas, was the second city in the nation to pass an ordinance outlawing abortion, but \u201cwalked back\u201d its ordinance to a non-binding resolution after receiving an open records request from the ACLU. The Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn Initiative is hopeful to see Omaha undo its retraction and re-outlaw abortion in the near future.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bishop Strickland has shared his hopes for every city in the 33 counties which make up the Tyler Diocese to join cities like Waskom and Waskom in outlawing abortion and becoming sanctuary cities for the unborn. Speaking of the Biden Administration\u2019s \u2018goal of making abortion available in every zip code of the nation,&#8217; Bishop Strickland urged pro-lifers to push back and fight for life on the local level, stating, &#8220;We need to fight from the other direction and say Zip Code by Zip Code &#8211; NO!&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_245235\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-245235\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-245235\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poynor-texas--700x557.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poynor-texas--700x557.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poynor-texas--300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poynor-texas--768x611.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poynor-texas--500x398.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poynor-texas-.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-245235\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former Poynor School Teacher Lynne Littrell, Sanctuary Cities For the Unborn Ambassador Joel Enge, Poynor Resident Cassie Marsh, and Poynor Mayor Dannie Smith take a picture after the unanimous vote of the Poynor City Council.
