In November, Amarillo residents will vote on an abortion travel ban ordinance that would design the city as a “Sanctuary for the Unborn.”. According to the Texas Tribune, supporters of the abortion travel ban gathered 6,300 verified signatures to petition for the ordinance to be placed on the November 5 ballot. This move came after the Amarillo City Council rejected the proposal last month, adhering to local procedural rules that allow citizens to petition for a ballot measure if the council does not approve it.
