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 will find a way. They can have some wackadoodle Texas GOP judge review the situation. And they will claim some nonsense like “the mother is undertaking preborn kidnapping”. And then the ruling can go up the GOP legal foodchain until it finally reaches the GOP justices on the supreme court.

      The enforcement will come through targeted vexatious litigation and criminal sanction. Its what they did to Food Not Bombs down in Houston. Just single out members of the organization with a bunch of fines and citations, and drown them in legal costs.
