Recently, Lubbock, Texas became the 26th city to outlaw abortion within their city limits and are a sanctuary city for the unborn. On the day that the ordinance took effect, we sat down with Mark Lee Dickson, director of Right To Life of East Texas, and pastor behind the “sanctuary city for the unborn” movement to talk about how this movement began, why it’s important, and the impact these ordinances have on the abortion industry.
Episode 82 | Reflection and Perspective
At the beginning of the classic Christmas movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, George Bailey stood on a snow covered bridge preparing to jump into the icy river below. He was going to kill himself after concluding that he had made a mess of things and that his life had counted for nothing. Then, at the height of his despair, he was visited by an angel who showed him what the world would have been like had he never lived. In the end, George had come to see that he was allowing his life to be defined by its failures. There is a valuable lesson in that for the pro-life movement. Listen as we discuss the “George Bailey” Syndrome that is affecting the pro-life movement and provide a moment of reflection and perspective.
