Description
Abortion is illegal statewide in Texas, but residents in the city of Amarillo want to go a step further -- banning even the use of the city's roads by people seeking the procedure elsewhere. At a city council meeting on the matter, Mark Lee Dickson, the founder of the group Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn, says, "There's an unborn child that is being taken against her will across state lines to be murdered. Abortion is murder." At least a dozen other jurisdictions in Texas have passed so-called abortion travel bans—the work of "religious extremists," says Harper Metcalf, of the Amarillo Reproductive Freedom Alliance.
