Amarillo residents will vote on a so-called abortion travel ban in November, one of the few times Texas voters will have a say on abortion since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.

Supporters of the measure, who gathered 6,300 verified signatures to petition for approval of the ordinance, submitted their request to city officials to have it placed on the Nov. 5 ballot after the Amarillo City Council rejected it last month, per local rules.

Good luck enforcing it. I'm sure Amarillo is going to love spending the extra money (increased property taxes) and getting stopped randomly at checkpoints.

Cruelty is the point, much like an abusive partner reminding their victim of the power dynamic.

Sensibility, reasonability, and kindness be damned.
