A North Texas city decided not to ban abortion in a surprising move. Mineral Wells Mayor Christopher Perricone wanted to create an ordinance, similar to one passed by another Texas border town, that would make the city a "sanctuary city for the unborn." But when he asked the city manager to add an item to Tuesday City Council agenda, the city attorney advised council members the abortion ban would conflict with federal law, FOX 4 reported. She joined groups like Texas Democratic Women, Progressive Democrats of America, League of United Latin American Citizens, and the Mineral Wells Area Chamber of Commerce in opposing the mayor's proposal. She was joined by groups like the Right to Life of East Texas, Texas Right To Life, and the National Black Pro-Life Coalition.
