Texas pastor and anti-abortion activist Mark Lee Dickson’s 'Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn' is putting forward an ordinance to ban abortion in West Wendover, where a Planned Parenthood clinic proposal remains in limbo.
The West Wendover City Council’s decision to deny Planned Parenthood a permit is an example of why the state needs to think about protecting abortion rights in the Nevada constitution, said Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro during a committee hearing on the bill.
Officially named “An Act for the Suppression of Trade In, and Circulation of, Obscene Literature and Articles of Immoral Use,” the 150-year-old law has been watered down over the years, butmailing any “article or thing designed, adapted, or intended for producing abortion.” Among them is former city council member Kathy Durham, who spoke in March and wrote a letter to the council pleading with them to “vote to expand healthcare services in our community and uphold your oath of office to ensure ... the separation of Church and State.”
As for Durham, she said, “I don’t know what Texas thinks they’re doing in Nevada. I imagine that Texas wouldn’t take kindly to this Nevada teacher coming in and telling them how to teach their Texas students.” The Tribune reached West Wendover Mayor Jasie Holm, who vetoed the city council’s decision to deny Planned Parenthood Mar Monte a permit to open a clinic, over the phone to ask her thoughts on the ordinance. She requested that questions be sent over email, but did not respond.
