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.

Christian group gathers 12,000 signatures to oust TN Republican leader who expelled Black lawmakers.

A Christian group called Faithful America has gathered over 12,500 signatures on a petition demanding the resignation of Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton, a Republican, who led a vote that expelled two Black lawmakers earlier this month. The petition accuses Sexton and the Republican caucus of "authoritarian actions" and calls for accountability. The two Black lawmakers were reinstated a week later after votes by their respective local councils and commissions. Sexton has not yet responded to the petition.
