This Orange County city to consider banning abortions, becoming 'sanctuary for life'

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. — The San Clemente City Council is set to consider a resolution in a couple of weeks that would declare the city a "sanctuary for life," making it an abortion-free zone.

The resolution, which was written and proposed by Councilman Steven Knoblock, states that the City Council "considers life to begin at conception" and stands against the establishment of Planned Parenthood health centers or as well as any other clinics where abortions are performed.

"There probably isn't a family in America that hasn't been impacted by abortion," Knoblock said. "The (resolution) will get people thinking about what society has been doing for 50 years."
