Some Lubbockites said they left the courthouse feeling betrayed by county commissioners after what was initially presented as nothing more than a simple discussion on the proposal ended with a vote.
Civil Chief Neal Burt with the Lubbock County District Attorney’s Office told commissioners the office needed more time to review the ordinance. Still, commissioners voted to approve it.
Dickson said part of his strategy is focused on “riling up the community” to unseat city council members and commissioners who oppose anti-abortion efforts,Supporters of the ordinance came to Lubbock from across eastern New Mexico and the South Plains, wearing blue to advocate for the movement. “We were speaking on our position of not being in favor of the proposition, we were told that there would be a break, there would not be a vote today,” Reid said. “While we were gone, apparently, there were some on the commission who chose to push it on through.”
"I continue to wonder what this ordinance is trying to legally accomplish," Parrish asked, remarking that he believed many came to the meeting"to make threats to the gentlemen on the dais in order to get people elected that will push your personal political agendas."
