You’ve heard of sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants….a popular country singer is suggesting sanctuary cities for another group of overlooked people.
As leaders of several of the largest cities in the United States vow to defy federal immigration law to shield illegal immigrants from deportation, country legend Charlie Daniels has suggested a similar idea for pro-life cities across the country: namely, that they ignore federal abortion law and become “sanctuary cities” for unborn children.
The 80-year-old Grammy-winner made the suggestion in a post to his Twitter account. Daniels wrote, “How about some cities declaring themselves a sanctuary for the unborn and refuse to abide by the federal laws allowing abortion.”
Daniels’ suggestion comes as the Center for Medical Progress released a new undercover video that revealed additional details behind the abortion process at Planned Parenthood, the country’s largest abortion provider. California prosecutors charged CMP staffers with a slew of felonies for recording Planned Parenthood staff without their consent.
It is estimated that there are 80 sanctuary cities in the US for illegal aliens. Those cities could lose a total of more than 2 billion dollars in federal aid as a result of ignoring federal law on immigration.
Daniels is set to release a book of memoirs in October.
