Lubbock voters have approved a measure aimed at outlawing abortion in the West Texas cityLUBBOCK, Texas -- Lubbock voters have approved a measure aimed at outlawing abortion in the West Texas city, a move likely to prompt legal action from opponents who call it an unconstitutional ban on the procedure. The proposition was approved with 62% of the vote, according to the unofficial tally from Lubbock County. Jim Baxa of West Texas for Life celebrated the results. Abortion services are available in Lubbock at a Planned Parenthood clinic that opened last year. In a statement released by Planned Parenthood, the ACLU hinted at possible legal action.
