Group Erects “Abortion Is Freedom” Billboards on I-20 by Waskom

WASKOM — A reproductive rights group has erected two signs on I-20 near Waskom reading, “Abortion is Freedom.” According to our news partner KETK, the signs went up three weeks after the city declared itself a “sanctuary city for the unborn.” On June 11, the city council unanimously approved a measure calling Roe v. Wade unconstitutional — and null and void in Waskom. In response, the Lilith Fund for Reproductive Equity said in a Facebook post that abortion is still legal in Waskom and elsewhere throughout the country. The group says it partnered with NARAL Pro-Choice Texas to erect the signs to promote NeedAbortion.org. Citizens who supported the city declaration said it will have to be an all-out effort to make it to the Supreme Court to challenge Roe v. Wade.
