Effingham County is looking to follow in the footsteps of other counties by become a sanctuary. But instead of being a sanctuary for guns or illegal immigrants, it would be a "sanctuary for the unborn."
A vote on the issue is expected June 18.
If it passed, Effingham County would oppose abortions, except those necessary to save the life of the mother and officially declare that life begins at conception.
