One former state lawmaker said the laws aim to create 'a reproductive prison in the state of Texas.'
Rights advocates in Texas on Wednesday said they will fight laws that have been passed in at least three counties so far that would outlaw travel on local roads to get abortion care—ordinances that they say are unconstitutional and should never have been approved in places including Cochran County, which borders New Mexico and where officials unanimously greenlit the measure last week.
''This is absolutely egregious—not to mention unconstitutional and unenforceable,' said the Brigid Alliance, which provides travel and other logistical support to people seeking abortions across the United States. 'But let's be clear: These antics will not stop the Brigid Alliance from our critical work to get people to their abortion care, whatever it takes.' Advocacy groups like the Brigid Alliance say the travel bans are in clear violation of the U.S.
