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.

      Yes but they different type of argument. That to was bullshit and illegal but even though I think boarders are all bs it is illegal to cross into another country without a passport or visa.

      But stopping Women from going from one state to another when they are pregnant ( and lets be truthful here) even if not pregnant is totally unconstitutional and If the federal government doesn’t sue and put a halt to these supposed laws then we as a country are done and time for a revolution.

          The problem is that they’re ok with it. The walls are to keep people where they belong, some out, others in.
