Lubbock County, Texas, joins a group of other rural Texas counties that have voted to ban women from using their roads to seek abortions.
This comes after six cities and counties in Texas have passed abortion-related bans, out of nine that have considered them. However, this ordinance makes Lubbock the biggest jurisdiction yet to pass restrictions on abortion-related transportation.
During Monday’s meeting, the Lubbock County Commissioners Court passed an ordinance banning abortion, abortion-inducing drugs and travel for abortion in the unincorporated areas of Lubbock County, declaring Lubbock County a “Sanctuary County for the Unborn.”
The ordinance is part of a continued strategy by conservative activists to further restrict abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade as the ordinances are meant to bolster Texas’ existing abortion ban, which allows private citizens to sue anyone who provides or “aids or abets” an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.
The ordinance, which was introduced to the court last Wednesday, was passed by a vote of 3-0 with commissioners Terence Kovar, Jason Corley and Jordan Rackler, all Republicans, voting to pass the legislation while County Judge Curtis Parrish, Republican, and Commissioner Gilbert Flores, Democrat, abstained from the vote.
Don’t make idiotic comments on shit you don’t understand. You’re clearly not an American, so don’t pretend you have a clue.
This guy in other threads gives his opinions on Israel and Canada and then thinks only Americans can give opinions on America.
Quote where I said that asshole. If your pathetic profile snooping was any good, you’d know I lived in Canada for years, nice try.
As a Canadian, I’m glad you left
Stop sending us these people please
Get some guns and shoot em for all I care mate.
As an American, so am I! Your country is shit.
Kinda looking like you’re shit tbh. Maybe go back to reddit, seems more in your wheelhouse.
In would, but I’m here to get away from types like you
Cope
God damn will you go back to crying at people about linux? The adults are having a conversation.
Hey… Leave Linux out of this. It didn’t do anything wrong!
Nope, and I use it myself. But dude’s post history is just reams of him bitching at people about this or that OS/distro. I’m just picturing someome always yelling at his screen, and who angry-types a keyboard into the trash every three months.
No, feel free to quoute my “crying about Linux” pathetic profile sniffer.
They clearly know more than you do. I’m actually from Texas and it’s fucking spot on
Oh? What is that “they know” since nothing specific was addressed other than generic talking point fears from the viewpoint of a European. Unlike them, I’ve lived in TX. Can’t wait to hear this…
