☆ Fight over Texas anti-abortion transport bans reaches biggest battlegrounds yet
  + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Julia Harte | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
A few hours north, the Amarillo City Council on Tuesday will weigh its own such law, which could lead to a future council or city-wide vote. He took that approach in Odessa's city elections in 2022 after the council initially blocked one of his "sanctuary city for the unborn" proposals. Not all backers of abortion restrictions support Dickson's transport bans, however. The debates over the transport bans are spurring new shows of support for abortion access. Abortion rights supporters, including four abortion funds in Texas, said they expected the transport bans to backfire on the anti-abortion movement by galvanizing political participation from abortion rights advocates in the lead-up to next year's presidential election.

☆ Comstock Act: The 150-year-old chastity law that may be the next big fight over abortion
  + stars: | 2023-04-28 | by ( Tierney Sneed | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +15 min
“Comstock is really the backdoor way to remove access to abortion across the whole country,” said Greer Donley, a University of Pittsburgh Law School professor who specializes in abortion law. Severino argued that, at least when it comes to the Comstock Act’s prohibitions on mailing abortion pills, Congress is well within its powers to regulate those shipments. Several towns, some in New Mexico and elsewhere, have passed local ordinances that cite the Comstock Act and prohibit business within those jurisdictions from shipping or receiving items used for abortions in the mail, as covered by the Comstock Act. The lawsuits in New Mexico state court that those ordinances have prompted may provide for another opportunity for courts to elaborate on what the Comstock Act means. The Supreme Court, in the emergency order it issued last week, did not say anything about the Comstock Act.
☆ New Mexico asks court to overturn cities' abortion bans
  + stars: | 2023-01-24 | by ( Andrew Hay | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The move comes after the New Mexico cities of Hobbs, Clovis and two surrounding counties bordering Texas passed ordinances in recent months to restrict abortion clinics and access to abortion pills. New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez filed an extraordinary writ in New Mexico Supreme Court to block the ordinances which he said were based on flawed interpretations of 19th century federal regulations on abortion medication. Right-to-life activists said the regulations remained valid under federal law and vowed to work on bringing such ordinances to more cities in New Mexico, the only state bordering Texas where abortion remains legal. New Mexico's largest cities of Las Cruces and Albuquerque have become regional destinations for women seeking abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court in June ended the nationwide constitutional right to the procedure. In direct response, New Mexico Democrats have drafted legislation to prevent cities from overriding state laws guaranteeing womens' rights to reproductive healthcare.
☆ New Mexico city passes ordinance to block abortion clinics from operating
  + stars: | 2022-11-08 | by ( Brad Brooks | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
HOBBS, New Mexico, Nov 7 (Reuters) - A New Mexico town near the Texas border on Monday unanimously passed an ordinance designed to ban abortions, despite the procedure being legal in the state. The so-called "sanctuary city for the unborn" ordinance blocks abortion clinics from operating and its passage by the Hobbs city commission marks a first for a town in a state controlled by the Democratic Party, according to anti-abortion advocates. The all-male Hobbs city commission voted 7-0 to approve the ordinance after hearing from several speakers on both sides of the issue. Another New Mexico city, Clovis, last week indefinitely postponed a similar ordinance, with city commissioners there saying they felt it was too rushed.

☆ New Mexico town delays banning abortion
  + stars: | 2022-11-04 | by ( Brad Brooks | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Clovis does not have an abortion clinic, but could be a place that could serve people from Republican-controlled Texas, to the east. On Monday, the city commission of the nearby town of Hobbs is expected to take up a similar measure. Mitchell participated in the city commission meeting by phone. What it's doing is it's putting women — women and girls' lives at risk." Laura Wight, a Clovis resident helping lead Eastern New Mexico Rising, a progressive group opposed to ordinance, welcomed the delay.
☆ New frontline of U.S. abortion battles emerges in New Mexico

A woman and child attend an anti-abortion rally outside of the Hobbs City Commission Chamber in Hobbs, New Mexico, U.S., October 17, 2022. The New Mexican abortion provider within closest reach for most Texas women is currently in Albuquerque - about a four-hour drive from Clovis and five hours from Hobbs. Voters in Lubbock, Texas, which is near the New Mexico border, outlawed abortion in 2021. In New Mexico, Dickson worked with conservative lawyer Jonathan Mitchell, who was the architect of Texas’ 2021 “heartbeat” abortion law.
