“Babies have a right to be born.” - Cindy G.


“Stop murder.” - Edward R.


“Life is precious - especially that of innocent children. It’s argued that abortion is about fairness and rights. With abortion - three people are involved. The Mother, The Father and the child. There is no fairness when two of the three have no say.” - Rina R. 


“I believe, as the church, we need to be a voice for the innocent.” - Paul Z.


“I believe babies are a gift from God, life begins in conception and every baby has the right to live.” - Zayda G.


“A former life that has a beating heart and life should not have their precious innocent life taken from them. It’s murder. I understand having a cold may be an inconvenience for some but there is always the option of adoption.” - Jamie Z.

“Every life deserves a chance!” - Jose G. 


“Do not believe in abortion.” - Julie M.

Why Morton Residents Want To See Abortion Outlawed in Their City

“I almost aborted my oldest son when I was in college. I had made the appointment, and at that time I only had to drive a couple of hours to get it. I had a dream from God and the morning of my appointment I woke up and immediately knew I couldn’t go through with it. My son is now 12 years old and is such a gift. I still shudder to think what I would have stolen from the world had I went through with my plans. I want to see our city take a stand for the unborn because I know from experience the easier it is to get to, the easier it is to make that choice. And I do believe it is murder. It breaks my heart to think of who we have killed in this nation and what they would have done for God’s kingdom. I want to see my town stand for God’s word and truth. I believe it will bring blessing on our city when we align our city government with God’s will and take this bold stand.” - Lynna Z.


“I believe abortion has been offered as a remedy, but it is irreparably destructive. It ends the life of a child and scars the mother mentally and physically. Morton should never allow itself to become part of an abortion mill. Abortion is indeed murder because it takes an innocent life. We can say no by becoming a sanctuary city.” - Karen G.


“I strongly believe it is murder!” - John B.

“I absolutely want to see abortion outlawed in Morton, Texas.” - Jamie B. 

“God’s will.” - Edward R.
