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.

        Okay sorry first I heard about this. WTF that should been shut down before the action phase. Maybe if the Biden administration could get their head out of Israel ass and focus more on whats happening here we can put a stop to this bullshit.

            The federal government could and can step in anytime and put a stop to this bullshit. Hence them not doing so and not even bringing it up means they are complacent at most or just flat out ignoring it at the worst.

            You think if the Democrats or hell Biden would want to win control of Congress next year they would bring it up and make bills to end to fascism. But instead all Biden talks about and cares about is more money to Israel and Ukraine.

            Endless amount of billions helping those countries while ours is descending into fascism.

              This shit’s less than a week old and you didn’t even fucking know it existed 11 hours ago but now you’re throwing the Democrats under the bus for something the Republicans did.

              Fuck off with that horseshit.
