Mark Lee Dickson paved the way for the Texas abortion ban, one small town at a time

PLAINVIEW, Tex. — Mark Lee Dickson arrived at College Heights Baptist Church in his signature uniform: backward baseball cap, button-down shirt and Vans sneakers. As he began preaching, he held a thumb-sized rubber fetus, complete with a fully-formed face.

“An abortion clinic in Waskom, Texas, is not an Austin problem or a Washington, D.C., problem. It’s a town problem,” he said, urging the audience not to wait for state or national leaders and instead to pass their own local ban.

Over the last two years, Dickson, 36, has given a similar speech in more than a hundred towns across Texas, lobbying them to become “sanctuary cities for the unborn” by prohibiting abortions within their limits.

Dickson says he has no personal experience with abortion. He often tells audiences that he is a “36-year-old virgin” who sees himself as a millennial missionary to keep abortion clinics out of Texas. It’s something that he’s been passionate about since he was a child, attending county fairs with his grandfather’s antiabortion group. He says his own battles with depression have shown him how precious life is.
