Fight over Texas anti-abortion transport bans reaches biggest battlegrounds yet
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.
Iām 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.
Then you give it a gun and see what happens.
So much for the marketplace of ideas.
