Guess what, Tiny? They’re not going to stop there.
Texas is limiting interstate travel. They’re joining a cadre of states doing the same
This is over abortion now but soon—who knows.
Need to travel out of state for medicine? Family? Religion? Those days are ending
Stand up now or be forced to sit silent forever.

@flexghost Wow. Oklahoma history is actually almost useful. Texas should know pretty well this is unconstitutional and illegal. They already tried it in the 1930s.
@obscurestar @flexghost These laws aren't really like that incident. The Llano thing seems 100% unenforceable, I'm not really sure what to make of it. The Idaho one is about parental consent, not like roadblocks or something.
@obscurestar @flexghost Right: these laws/etc about abortion aren't like that.
@obscurestar @flexghost I don't think it's illegal for states to require parents' permission to transport minors out of state for medical procedures. I could be wrong.
@ech @flexghost That article actually doesn't really cover it in great detail. There was a whole big conflict that involved the federal government and the rights of citizens to freely cross state lines. Texas was trying to force everyone to use their toll road. That's the part I was really getting at. Guess I should have read the wiki article before linking it though.
Physical roadblocks or no, what they're doing is illegal and fascist.
