After a citizen’s vote, Lubbock is now the largest so-called “sanctuary city for the unborn” in the country. The city is the first to pass an ordinance like this that actually has a health center that offers abortions.
Proposition A passed with 62% of votes on Saturday. Over 21,000 people voted in favor of the ordinance and 12,860 voted against it. In total, 34,260 Lubbockites voted on the measure, according to the Lubbock County Elections Office.
In mostly conservative and religious Lubbock, churches are likely one of the reasons why the ordinance passed.
Texas Tech University Political Science Professor Tim Nokken explained that, while tax-exempt churches aren’t supposed to support a specific political candidate, they can take a stance on issues. And many did this election.

Lubbock will soon be at the center of the abortion debate here s what to expect
The abortion issue has wrestled its way to the local level, and it ll soon take center stage in Lubbock, where voters will be voting on an ordinance to outlaw abortions inside city limits.
Those arguing against the local ordinance say it is unconstitutional and unenforceable. The Lubbock City Council unanimously voted the ordinance down when it was put before them, citing legal issues in the ordinance and the current protections from the federal government for a woman to choose to have an abortion.
However, the low-bar to bring a citizen-led petition to a public vote allowed for exactly that, and beginning next month, citizens in Lubbock will be voting on an ordinance outlawing abortions inside city limits.

The new L200is the third SSL Live desk to be installed at Southcrest Baptist Church
USA - Southcrest Baptist Church has remodelled a former worship centre on its campus in Lubbock, Texas, reopening it as The Venue, a multipurpose space outfitted with a new Solid State Logic Live L200 digital mixing console. The new L200 desk is being used to mix front-of-house, monitors and a live stream of The Venue’s Sunday morning service, which features a five-piece contemporary band. The new L200, which was put into service in early November, is the third SSL Live desk to be installed at Southcrest Baptist Church. In 2017, the church opened a newly constructed 46,000sq.ft, 1,600-seat Worship Centre on its campus that is equipped with a pair of SSL Live L300 consoles. One manages front-of-house and monitors and the other handles audio-for-video duties, including live streaming and recording.
