Christian Group Threatens Legal Action as Amarillo City Council Reconsiders Abortion Travel Ban

A Christian group called Texas Christians for Reproductive Justice is threatening to take legal action against Amarillo if the city council approves an abortion travel ban. The group argues that such a ban would infringe on their religious freedom to assist individuals forced to leave Texas for abortions. They cite biblical interpretations and claim that the ban would disproportionately affect those living in poverty. The group states that they will pursue legal recourse if necessary, but hope to avoid doing so.
