"Texas City Leaders Engage in Heated Debate Over Abortion Travel Ban"

The Amarillo City Council in Texas extended its debate on a proposed abortion travel ban, which aims to restrict access to neighboring states where abortion is legal. The council, consisting of five members, discussed three different drafts of the ordinance but did not reach a resolution. The proposed ban has faced criticism from abortion rights activists and legal scholars who argue that it is unconstitutional. The council's prolonged deliberation reflects the contentious nature of the issue, with Amarillo being a focal point for the debate. The council plans to undergo further legal review before a final vote on the ordinance.
