SAN ANTONIO, Texas (LifeSiteNews) — The second-largest city in Texas rejected a pro-abortion, leftist referendum during Saturday’s local elections.
Proposition A garnered only 28% of the vote on Saturday, with almost 72% voting “no” on the referendum, which included several leftist agenda items concerning marijuana, abortion, and woke crime policies.
The proposal would have prohibited law enforcement from issuing citations for some “low-level” marijuana charges and also would prohibit police from “the enforcement of abortion crimes to promote the reproductive health, safety, and privacy of all City residents and stating that police officers shall not investigate, make arrests, or otherwise enforce any alleged criminal abortion, except in limited circumstances.”
Abortion is practically unobtainable in the state due to several pro-life laws, including a novel heartbeat law that allows for private lawsuits against anyone who assists a woman in having an abortion. There are currently no abortion facilities open in the state.
UPDATE (03/07/23): Walgreens won’t dispense abortion pills in 20 states
The pressure is paying off. Walgreens’ plan to dispense abortion pills nationwide is now in tatters, with the pharmaceutical giant announcing that it won’t mail the pills to, or sell them within, 20 states.
The news comes after 20 Republican attorneys general warned CVS and Walgreens that doing so would be in violation of federal law and that they were opening themselves to penalties.
But we can’t rest on our laurels with this boycott: Walgreens and CVS will only listen to us when their profits are threatened — we need a HUGE boycott so that blood money they get from selling abortion pills is dwarfed by the profits they lose when pro-life America shops elsewhere.
Even Politico admitted in its reporting that “pressure” from pro-life voters like you helped change Walgreens’ plans, so now we’re asking you to take the next step: simply share this petition with your friends and ask them to join the boycott.
Thank you!

Walgreens and CVS will begin selling mifepristone — a powerful chemical that kills unborn children in the womb — if pro-life America does not ACT NOW.
Pro-life Americans MUST STOP the widespread sale and distribution of mifepristone by sending a message that only big-box stores will understand: A NATIONAL BOYCOTT OF WALGREENS AND CVS.
Walgreens and CVS are the newest back-door channels for the pro-abortion movement, now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.
Will you act now to STOP abortion drugs from reaching your pharmacy?
Our work in the pro-life movement is FAR from over, especially now that Walgreens and CVS have chosen to push deadly drugs in their stores and in our communities!
SIGN and SEND a message to Walgreens and CVS! This is completely unacceptable!
We must stop abortion from reaching our pharmacies and stop the abortion industry from poisoning our communities — before it’s too late.
These big-box stores respond only to profit. The pro-life movement must enact a national boycott if the abortion industry dares flood our neighborhoods!
SIGN and SEND a strong message to Walgreens and CVS: unless they immediately reverse course, the entire pro-life movement will BOYCOTT their stores!
SIGN NOW and send a clear message!

If passed, it would have created a new “Justice Director with no previous experience in law enforcement, who will be charged with fulfilling the justice policy by providing a justice impact statement before any City Council vote affecting the justice policy and meeting quarterly with community stakeholders to discuss the development of policies, procedures and practices related to the justice policy in open meeting.”
It would have also prohibited the police from issuing citations for some misdemeanors, including graffiti and theft of items worth less than $100.
Act4SA ran the unsuccessful campaign to get voters to endorse the agenda. It is run by former Bernie Sanders presidential campaign staffers.
“We choose not to perpetuate trauma-inducing systems rooted in racism and oppression. We believe educating our community will help create more leaders who can help us push toward freedom from the oppressive carceral system we currently face,” the group explains on its website. “We know that comprehensive public safety reaches far past the risk management of our current institutions.”
Texas Alliance for Life supported the defeat of the measure.
“We hope this defeat sends a strong message to those activists seeking to circumvent statewide laws that protect unborn babies from abortion,” Amy O’Donnell, a spokesperson for the pro-life Texas Alliance for Life, told the media. “Gimmicks, like the bundling of the decriminalization of abortion with other measures, did not work in San Antonio. Texans won’t stand for it, and our cities deserve better.”
