The measures would not punish women seeking an abortion but would present legal risks to people who take them to get the procedure.

Abortion rights demonstrators attend a rally at the Texas state Capitol in Austin, Texas, May 14, 2022. Lubbock County commissioners, in west Texas, voted Monday, Oct. 23, 2023, to ban drivers from transporting a person seeking an abortion, making it the largest of four Texas counties that have now adopted a version of the measure.
