Mayor Corey Hull, recalling his mother’s decision to choose life for him in difficult circumstances, led the City of Carbon on Monday in becoming the 20th Texas city to outlaw abortions.
The city council voted unanimously to adopt a Sanctuary for the Unborn ordinance amid strong support from local residents. Carbon (population 348) is located about 60 southeast of Abilene.
“I believe God has a purpose for every child,” Hull said in a testimony shared with LifeNews. “I am proof. I am living proof. Living. Abortion kills. I could have been aborted. The miracle never stops.”
Hull said his birth mother struggled with a drug addiction and mental health problems. He said he was conceived during a one-night stand with a stranger after his mother’s husband kicked her out of their home. Though his mother easily could have chosen an abortion, she chose life instead and made an adoption plan for him, Hull said.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
