Ten towns in Texas have voted to declare themselves "sanctuary cities for the unborn," with most adopting ordinances that claim to outlaw abortion within city limits. At least 13 cities are considering such ordinances, and three -- Mineral Wells, Omaha and Jacksboro -- have already voted against them. Most of the towns that have enacted the anti-abortion ordinances have populations of less than 6,000 people. Advocates for abortion rights argue that while the ordinances cannot actually outlaw abortion, they are spreading misinformation to those seeking the procedure. "Abortion is still legal in every city and county in Texas, as it is everywhere in the United States currently," Tigner told CNN.
