Suggest she take a flight out of DFW.
If she tries to drive, in some parts of the state, she can get arrested for driving on certain highways to get aid with an abortion.
Avoid Lubbock.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — A Texas county near New Mexico — where abortion is legal — has banned helping people traveling to get an abortion in one of the newest ways conservatives are trying to restrict abortion access since the fall of Roe v. Wade.

Lubbock County is the largest of four Texas counties that have now adopted a version of the measure, which would be enforced through lawsuits filed by private citizens against people who help women obtain abortions. It is the same legal mechanism Texas used to enact a strict abortion law in 2021 before the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the state last year to ban nearly all abortions entirely.

Commissioners in the west Texas county adopted the measure 3-0 at a meeting Monday, rejecting some requests to postpone the vote.

@JSul3 I remember reading about it when Texas began doing that. I told my father, who commented that if a total stranger is legally able to force a woman to have a child, she should be able to sue that person for child support or at the very least, the cost of prenatal care.

"If they want to get [b]that[/b] involved in the woman’s personal business, let them [b]pay[/b] for the privilege!"
