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.

It is illegal for any city or fucking state from keeping you from driving to another state or city no matter the purpose. Fuck these cities and fuck the federal government for not intervening and putting a stop to this bullshit.

This is kind of bs you see in North Korea or some communist hell hole like China. But Republicans and their voters are to stupid to see that.

I hope the voters in both cities remove the city council members from office over this by force if need be. This is plan old fascism and needs to be stomped out now.

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.
