Texas counties are passing ordinances banning travel on highways for out of state abortions. Expect to see this used for families taking trans youth to get care out of state as well next year. (nitter.salastil.com)

Yeah when it comes to terrorising parents you're absolutely right. You're essentially leaving a lot of parents with a decision about risk, the risk of child suicide over their dysphoria vs the risk of the state involving themselves and potentially taking your child for "abuse".

The sinister thing about calling it child abuse is that I can absolutely see that would seep into popular consciousness over time and normalisation of the law.
