About 60 political subdivisions throughout the State of Texas have passed enforceable ordinances further prohibiting abortion within their jurisdiction.

With abortion in Texas being outlawed from the moment of conception, Amarillo has become an abortion trafficking hub connecting abortion-free states like Texas to abortion-access states like New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas.

After much back and forth attempting to see their City Council approve such a measure, residents have now sent the Ordinance to the ballot for voters to decide this November.

Mark interviews Mark Lee Dickson about the battle in Amarillo on today's program. Among other things, we will discuss:

Why Amarillo is considering this issue since the Supreme Court made abortion a matter for states to decide.
What does the private enforcement mechanism do?
Is the ordinance a travel ban?
What is the Comstock Act?
