Texas counties are passing ordinances banning travel on highways for out of state abortions. Expect to see this used for families taking trans youth to get care out of state as well next year.

I have never heard of this tactic before but apparently, Texas counties are passing ordinances banning travel on highways for out of state abortions. Expect to see this used for families taking trans youth to get their care out of state as well in the next year.

Texas highways targeted by antiabortion activists seeking to block interstate travel

A new ordinance, passed in several jurisdictions and under consideration elsewhere, aims to stop people from using local roads to drive someone out of state for an abortion

    They’re not going to do any of this, because it would too severely impact rich people.

    How would that impact them at all? They fly when they want to leave Texas.

      Antiabortion advocates behind the measure are targeting regions along interstates and in areas with airports, with the goal of blocking off the main arteries out of Texas and keeping pregnant women hemmed within the confines of their antiabortion state.

      A number of major airports are located in these majority conservative counties.

        And they already go through airport check-in and screening and security - nothing would change
