Understanding the impact of

PROP A

AKA “The Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn” Ordinance

Deceptive in Nature

The ordinance does not ban abortions. It only encourages neighbors to surveil and sue anyone they suspect of “aiding and abetting” an abortion.

Zero proof is required to file a lawsuit. Any Amarillo citizen under suspicion could be sued for a minimum of $10,000 and attorneys’ fees.

Infringes on Constitutional Rights

The ordinance seeks to censor the sharing of information and dictate where you can spend your money - a direct violation of freedom of speech and freedom of association.
