More Courage From Texas, as Lubbock Takes a Stand for the Unborn

On Saturday, May 1, the citizens of Lubbock took a strong stand for life, voting to pass an ordinance that makes abortion illegal within city limits.

The ordinance, which passed with more than 62% of the vote, declares: "It 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 Lubbock, Texas … It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly aid or abet an abortion that occurs in the City of Lubbock, Texas."

Notably, citizens passed the ordinance after the city council voted 7-0 against it. This outstanding action by Lubbock citizens dealt a blow to Planned Parenthood, which in April had begun performing abortions at a new clinic in the city.

Mark Lee Dickson, founder of the Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn Initiative and director of Right to Life of East Texas, said "Now that the voters have spoken, we expect Planned Parenthood to respect the outcome of this election and cease providing abortions at its Lubbock clinic."

What a victory in the battle for life! Lubbock is now the 26th city in the nation to declare itself a "sanctuary city for the unborn," and it is the largest to do so. Join us in praying that this would ignite citizens in more cities across the country to stand up for life and say "No more!" to abortion.

Giving Thanks to God

As we give thanks this week to God we should remember this: without His provision and protection, our nation is doomed. America’s increasing secularization represents a mortal threat. Ironically, we can even see our drifting from God in the annual Presidential Thanksgiving Proclamations issued throughout our nation’s history.

Trump and The Reformation of America's Government

We do have one warning! Christians must not conclude that their work is done. The battle to save and preserve our country as “one nation under God” will continue to rage. We urge you to pray for the safety of President-elect Trump and his team. We also implore pastors and church leaders to boldly lead their flocks into the public square and stand firm for faith, family, and freedom.

Elections Matter!

Our countdown to the election is over, and the results are in. As you know, this tumultuous election year ended on November 5 with a resounding victory for the Trump-Vance ticket over Harris-Walz. The final Electoral College count was 312 to 226, and Trump is now winning the popular vote by more than 3.2 million. No Republican president has accomplished this since 2004. In addition, he enjoys a clear majority in the US Senate and a likely narrow majority in the House of Representatives.
