Two Texas jurisdictions will consider measures this week to outlaw the act of transporting another person along their roads for an abortion, part of a strategy by conservative activists to further restrict abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Commissioners in Lubbock County are slated to vote on the proposal on Monday. A few hours north, the Amarillo City Council on Tuesday will weigh its own such law, which could lead to a future council or city-wide vote.
Lubbock and Amarillo are the biggest jurisdictions of the 10 places in Texas that have considered restrictions on abortion-related transportation since the June 2022 end of Roe, which had granted a nationwide right to abortion. Five cities and counties in the state have passed bans.
Making it illegal for women to travel is simply called Freedom LIBTARDS!
So Texas is saying it’s illegal to transport people to another state if it’s for an abortion, but it’s encouraged to transport immigrants to another state if they’re undocumented?
What if it’s an undocumented immigrant that wants an abortion?
I really feel like politicians should be held financially liable for the legal costs of defending obviously unconstitutional laws like this. I mean, it’s so unbelievably unconstitutional that no serious judge would allow it to stand in a legal challenge. That makes this a waste of taxpayer money when it inevitably goes to judicial challenge.
I’m a dipshit and even I know this is one of the dumbest ideas ever conceived.
Well in the state of Texas, once the idea is conceived, you have to carry it to term.
