Amarillo residents will vote on a so-called abortion travel ban in November, one of the few times Texas voters will have a say on abortion since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.
Supporters of the measure, who gathered 6,300 verified signatures to petition for approval of the ordinance, submitted their request to city officials to have it placed on the Nov. 5 ballot after the Amarillo City Council rejected it last month, per local rules.
Anyone trying to restrict my right of free travel as an American citizen is going to meet my Second Amendment right.
Texas:freedom, unless you a Are a woman. Thanks for nothing, jerks.
I’m not holding my breath for a positive outcome. Amarillo is a hellscape all on its own.
It likely comes from living next to the stockyards and pantex.
What the ever living fuck…
Good luck enforcing it. I’m sure Amarillo is going to love spending the extra money (increased property taxes) and getting stopped randomly at checkpoints.
It’s about the fear.
Cruelty is the point, much like an abusive partner reminding their victim of the power dynamic.
Sensibility, reasonability, and kindness be damned.
