FULL TITLE: Pro-choice billboards erected outside Texas town that declared itself 'sanctuary city for the unborn'

Two pro-choice billboards outside a small town in Texas were put up this month after the all-male city council passed an ordinance declaring it a “sanctuary city for the unborn.”

The billboards, funded by abortion rights activists from Austin, read “Abortion is freedom” and include a website that has information on abortion services in Texas and nearby, according to the Washington Post.

The billboards follow the all-male city council of Waskom, Texas, voting unanimously last month to pass the ordinance.

Waskom does not currently have an abortion provider within city limits, so the ordinance is largely preventative. It prevents any abortion clinics from opening in the city.

Delma Catalina Limones, the communications manager for NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, a group that helped fund the billboards, said they did not contact anyone in Waskom before putting the billboards up. Though she added people have “reached out to thank us” since the billboards were erected.

Jayna Lay, a resident of Waskom, told The Post she supports the ordinance and is unhappy and outside group put the billboard near town.

“I think they did it to take a dig at Waskom,” she said. “They send the wrong message in my opinion. ‘Abortion is freedom,’ that’s a messed up phrase. That’s pretty much saying, ‘Kill your children and you’re free.’ That’s crazy to me.”

She said the ordinance passing drew controversy, but Waskom is unlikely to have an abortion provider anyways.

“I would never see Waskom having an abortion clinic anyway; it’s such a small town full of churches,” Lay told The Post.

“Abortion is freedom”

I would find out what the county ordinance is re: how far apart must one billboard be from the next one.

Then, my group would put up a billboard as close as allowed to the abortionist’s billboard. It would read:

THE NEXT BILLBOARD YOU SEE IS FOR MURDERING CHILDREN

The abortionist’s billboards are probably flammable.

"...after the all-male city council passed an ordinance declaring..."

How come it did not also read "...after the all feminazi planned parenthood council erected..."

Abortion is freedom? So is killing your wife, by that logic.

Killing ANYONE is always the simplest solution to anything.

Killing Downs kids is the solution to the Downs problem.

Killing Jews is the solution to the Jewish problem.

Killing poor people is the solution to the poverty problem.

`

It's a kind of idiot arithmetic, consisting solely of subtraction.

Maybe there should be a state license if you want to be pregnant; think of all the fees the state could collect.

I would put up a billboard just after the one that says "ABORTION IS FREEDOM".

It would say "...TO MURDER A CHILD"
