At the helm of legislation and the campaign to ban abortion-related transit in Texas is Mark Lee Dickson, a Christian pastor who began pushing communities to outlaw abortion by declaring themselves “sanctuary cities for the unborn” in 2019.
In response to the ordinance, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas said in a press release emailed to Newsweek the decision adds another layer of complexity to an already challenging landscape for individuals seeking essential healthcare services.
“Texans already live under some of the most restrictive and dangerous abortion bans in the country, yet anti-abortion extremists continue to push additional unnecessary, confusing, and fear-inducing barriers to essential healthcare,” Autumn Keiser, Spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas said.
“With high rates of uninsured residents and sexually transmitted infections in Lubbock County, Planned Parenthood is focused on ensuring that Texans can access high-quality, affordable healthcare safely and without the stigma and judgment that these political ordinances create,” Keiser added.
“We’re going to make sure that there are political and electoral consequences for this,” Rachel O’Leary Carmona, executive director of the Women’s March activist organization, told Reuters.
In response to the May 2021 decision in Lubbock, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas said in a press release, "The Lubbock ordinance approved on May 1, 2021 establishes an abortion ban for Lubbock residents, creating significant barriers and the need to travel a minimum 600 mile round trip or out of state to obtain an abortion…Access to healthcare services, including abortion, should not be determined by someone’s zip code, especially when these restrictions will disproportionately impact low income women and women of color.
