ORDINANCE OUTLAWING ABORTION WITHIN THE CITY OF LUBBOCK,
DECLARING LUBBOCK A SANCTUARY CITY FOR THE UNBORN, MAKING
VARIOUS PROVISIONS AND FINDINGS, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY,
REPEALING CONFLICTING ORDINANCES, AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS,
THAT:
A. FINDINGS
The City Council of Lubbock finds that:
(1) The State of Texas has never repealed its pre —Roe v. Wade statutes that outlaw
and criminalize abortion unless the mother's life is in danger.
(2) After the Supreme Court announced its judgment in Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113
(1973), the Texas legislature recodified and transferred its criminal prohibitions on
abortion laws to articles 4512.1 through 4512.6 of the Revised Civil Statutes. See
West's Texas Civil Statutes, articles 4512.1 — 4512.6 (1974); see also Act of June 14,
1973, ch. 399, §§ 5-6, 1973 Tex. Acts 883, 995-96; see also id. 996a, 996e
(including the Texas abortion laws in the table indicating the "Disposition of
Unrepealed Articles of the Texas Penal Code of 1925 and Vernon's Penal Code.").
(3) The law of Texas therefore continues to define abortion as a criminal offense
except when necessary to save the life of the mother. See West's Texas Civil
Statutes, article 4512.1 (1974).
(4) The Supreme Court's judgment in Roe v. Wade did not cancel or formally revoke
the Texas statutes that outlaw and criminalize abortion, and the judiciary has no
power to erase a statute that it believes to be unconstitutional. See Pidgeon v.
Turner, 538 S.W.3d 73, 88 n.21 (Tex. 2017) ("When a court declares a law
unconstitutional, the law remains in place unless and until the body that enacted it
repeals it"); Texas v. United States, 945 F.3d 355, 396 (5th Cir. 2019) ("The federal
courts have no authority to erase a duly enacted law from the statute books, [but can
only] decline to enforce a statute in a particular case or controversy." (citation and
internal quotation marks omitted)).
(5) The Supreme Court's pronouncements in Roe v. Wade and subsequent cases
may limit the ability of State officials to impose penalties on those who violate the
Texas abortion statutes, but they do not veto or erase the statutes themselves, which
continue to exist as the law of Texas until they are repealed by the legislature that
enacted them. The State's temporary inability to prosecute or punish those who
violate its abortion statutes on account of Roe v. Wade does not change the fact that
abortion is still defined as a criminal act under Texas law.
(6) The Texas murder statute defines the crime of "murder" to include any act that
"intentionally or knowingly causes the death" of "an unborn child at every stage of
gestation from fertilization until birth." See Texas Penal Code § 19.02; Texas Penal
Code § 1.07. Although the statute exempts "lawful medical procedures" from the
definition of murder, see Texas Penal Code § 19.06(2), an abortion is not a "lawful
medical procedure" under Texas law unless the life of the mother is in danger, see
West's Texas Civil Statutes, article 4512.1 (1974).
(7) The law of Texas also prohibits abortions unless they are performed in a facility
that meets the minimum standards for an ambulatory surgical center, and by a
physician who holds admitting privilege at a nearby hospital. See Texas Health and
Safety Code § 171.0031, 245.010(a). The Supreme Court's ruling in Whole Woman's
Health v. Hellerstedt, 136 S. Ct. 2292 (2016), did not alter or revoke these
requirements of state law; it merely enjoined state officials from enforcing the
penalties established in those statutes against the abortion providers who violate
them. Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt does not change the fact that abortion is
not a "lawful medical procedure" under Texas law unless it complies with sections
171.0031 and 245.010(a) of the Texas Health and Safety Code, and it does not
change the fact that the Texas murder statute prohibits abortions that fail to comport
with these still -existing requirements of Texas law.
(8) The City Council of Lubbock finds it necessary to supplement these existing state -
law prohibitions on abortion -murder with its own prohibitions on abortion, and to
empower city officials and private citizens to enforce these prohibitions to the
maximum extent permitted by state law and the Constitution. See Tex. Local Gov't
Code §§ 54.001(b)(1); 54.004.
(9) To protect the health and welfare of all residents within the City of Lubbock,
including the unborn, the City Council finds it necessary to outlaw abortion under city
law and to establish penalties and remedies as provided in this ordinance. See Tex.
Local Gov't Code §§ 54.001(b)(1); 54.004.
B. DEFINITIONS
(1) "Abortion" means the act of using or prescribing an instrument, a drug, a
medicine, or any other substance, device, or means with the intent to cause the
death of an unborn child of a woman known to be pregnant. The term does not
include birth -control devices or oral contraceptives. An act is not an abortion if the act
is done with the intent to:
2
(a) save the life or preserve the health of an unborn child;
(b) remove a dead, unborn child whose death was caused by accidental
miscarriage; or
(c) remove an ectopic pregnancy.
(2) "Child" means a natural person from the moment of conception until 18 years of
age.
(3) "Unborn child" means a natural person from the moment of conception who has
not yet left the womb.
(4) "Abortionist" means any person, medically trained or otherwise, who causes the
death of the child in the womb. The term does not apply to any pharmacist or
pharmaceutical worker selling birth -control devices or oral contraceptives. The term
includes, but is not limited to:
(a) Obstetricians/gynecologists and other medical professionals who perform
abortions of any kind.
(b) Any other medical professional who performs abortions of any kind.
(c) Any personnel from Planned Parenthood or other pro -abortion organizations
who perform abortions of any kind.
(d) Any remote personnel who instruct abortive women to perform self -abortions
at home.
(5) "City" shall mean the city of Lubbock, Texas.
C. DECLARATIONS
(1) We declare Lubbock, Texas to be a Sanctuary City for the Unborn.
(2) Abortion at all times and at all stages of pregnancy is declared to be an act of
murder, subject to the affirmative defenses described in Section D(3).
D. UNLAWFUL ACTS
(1) ABORTION — It shall be unlawful for any person to procure or perform an
abortion of any type and at any stage of pregnancy in the City of Lubbock, Texas.
3
(2) AIDING OR ABETTING AN ABORTION — It shall be unlawful for any person to
knowingly aid or abet an abortion that occurs in the City of Lubbock, Texas. This
section does not prohibit referring a patient to have an abortion which takes place
outside of the city limits of Lubbock, TX. The prohibition in this section includes, but is
not limited to, the following acts:
(a) Knowingly providing transportation to or from an abortion provider;
(b) Giving instructions over the telephone, the internet, or any other medium of
communication regarding self-administered abortion;
(c) Providing money with the knowledge that it will be used to pay for an abortion
or the costs associated with procuring an abortion;
(d) Coercing a pregnant mother to have an abortion against her will.
(3) AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE — It shall be an affirmative defense to the unlawful
acts described in Sections D(1) and D(2) if the abortion was in response to a life -
threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy
that, as certified by a physician, places the woman in danger of death or a serious
risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function unless an abortion is
performed. The defendant shall have the burden of proving this affirmative defense
by a preponderance of the evidence.
(4) No provision of Section D may be construed to prohibit any action which occurs
outside of the jurisdiction of the City of Lubbock.
(5) No provision of Section D may be construed to prohibit any conduct protected by
the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, as made applicable to state and local
governments through the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Fourteenth
Amendment.
E. PUBLIC ENFORCEMENT
(1) Except as provided in Section E(2) and E(3), any person, corporation, or entity
who commits an unlawful act described in Section D shall be subject to the maximum
penalty permitted under Texas law for the violation of a municipal ordinance
governing public health, and each violation shall constitute a separate offense. See
Tex. Local Gov't Code §§ 54.001(b)(1);
(2) Neither the City of Lubbock, nor any of its officers or employees, nor any
district or county attorney, nor any executive or administrative officer or employee of
2
any state or local governmental entity, may impose or threaten to impose the penalty
described in Section E(1) unless and until:
(a) The Supreme Court overrules Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), and
Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992), and permits states and
municipalities to punish anyone who violates an abortion prohibition, or
(b) A state or federal court enters a declaratory judgment or otherwise rules that
the imposition or threatened imposition of this penalty upon the particular person,
corporation, or entity that committed the unlawful act described in Section D will
not impose an "undue burden" on women seeking abortions; or
(c) A state or federal court enters a declaratory judgment or otherwise rules that
the person, corporation, or entity that committed the unlawful act described in
Section D lacks third -party standing to assert the rights of women seeking
abortions in court.
Provided, that the penalty provided in Section E(1) may not be imposed if a previous
decision of the Supreme Court of the United States established that the prohibited
conduct was constitutionally protected at the time it occurred.
(3) Under no circumstance may the penalty described in Section E(1) be imposed
on the mother of the unborn child that has been aborted.
(4) The non -imposition of the penalties described in Section E(1) does not in any
way legalize the conduct that has been outlawed in Section D, and it does not in any
way limit or effect the availability of the private -enforcement remedies established in
Section F. Abortion remains and is to be regarded as an illegal act under city law
and a criminal act under state law, except when abortion is necessary to save the life
of the mother. And abortion remains outlawed under both city and state law, despite
the temporary and partial inability of city and state officials to punish those who
violate the abortion laws on account of the Supreme Court's decisionmaking.
(5) Mistake of law shall not be a defense to the penalty established Section E(1).
F. PRIVATE ENFORCEMENT
(1) Any person, corporation, or entity that commits an unlawful act described in
Section D(1) or D(2), other than the mother of the unborn child that has been
aborted, shall be liable in tort to the unborn child's mother, father, grandparents,
siblings and half -siblings. The person or entity that committed the unlawful act shall
be liable to each surviving relative of the aborted unborn child for:
k,
(a) Compensatory damages, including damages for emotional distress;
(b) Punitive damages; and
(c) Costs and attorneys' fees.
There is no statute of limitations for this private right of action. Mistake of law shall not
be a defense to liability. The consent of the unborn child's mother to the abortion shall
not be a defense to liability, even if the unborn child's mother sues under this provision.
(2) Any private citizen of Texas, other than the individuals described in Section F(3),
may bring an action to enforce this ordinance against a person or entity that has
committed an unlawful act described in Section D, or that commits or plans to commit
an unlawful act described in Section D, and shall be awarded:
(a) Injunctive relief, if the court finds that the defendant is committing or plans to
commit an unlawful act described in Section D;
(b) Statutory damages of not less than two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) for each
violation, and not more than the maximum penalty permitted under Texas law for
the violation of a municipal ordinance governing public health, if court finds that
the defendant has committed an unlawful act described in Section D for which he
has not previously paid statutory damages or the penalty described in section
(E)(1); and
(c) Costs and attorneys' fees, if the court awards any of the injunctive relief or
statutory damages described in sections (F)(2)(a) and (b).
Provided, that no citizen -suit enforcement action may be brought, and no injunction
or statutory damages or liability for costs and attorneys' fees may be awarded or
assessed, against the mother of the unborn child that has been or will be aborted.
There is no statute of limitations for this private right of action. Mistake of law shall not
be a defense to liability. The consent of the unborn child's mother to the abortion shall
not be a defense to liability.
(3) The citizen -suit enforcement action described in Section F(2) may not be brought
by the City of Lubbock, by any of its officers or employees, by any district or county
attorney, or by any executive or administrative officer or employee of any state or
local governmental entity.
(4) The citizen -suit enforcement action described in Section F(1) and F(2) may be
brought on or after the effective date of this ordinance. An individual or entity sued
M
under the citizen -suit enforcement action described in Section F(1) and F(2) may
assert the Supreme Court's rulings in Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), or Planned
Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992), or any other abortion -related
pronouncement of the Supreme Court as a defense to liability if that individual or
entity has third -party standing to assert the rights of women seeking abortions in
court, and if the imposition of liability in that particular lawsuit would impose an
"undue burden" on women seeking abortions.
G. SEVERABILITY
(1) Mindful of Leavitt v. Jane L., 518 U.S. 137 (1996), in which in the context of
determining the severability of a state statute regulating abortion the United States
Supreme Court held that an explicit statement of legislative intent is controlling, it is
the intent of the City Council that every provision, section, subsection, sentence,
clause, phrase, or word in this ordinance, and every application of the provisions in
this ordinance, are severable from each other. If any application of any provision in
this ordinance to any person, group of persons, or circumstances is found by a court
to be invalid or unconstitutional, then the remaining applications of that provision to
all other persons and circumstances shall be severed and may not be affected. All
constitutionally valid applications of this ordinance shall be severed from any
applications that a court finds to be invalid, leaving the valid applications in force,
because it is the City Council's intent and priority that the valid applications be
allowed to stand alone. Even if a reviewing court finds a provision of this ordinance to
impose an undue burden in a large or substantial fraction of relevant cases, the
applications that do not present an undue burden shall be severed from the
remaining provisions and shall remain in force, and shall be treated as if the City
Council had enacted an ordinance limited to the persons, group of persons, or
circumstances for which the statute's application does not present an undue burden.
The City Council further declares that it would have passed this ordinance, and each
provision, section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word, and all
constitutional applications of this ordinance, irrespective of the fact that any provision,
section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word, or applications of this
ordinance, were to be declared unconstitutional or to represent an undue burden.
(2) If any provision of this ordinance is found by any court to be unconstitutionally
vague, then the applications of that provision that do not present constitutional
vagueness problems shall be severed and remain in force, consistent with the
declarations of the City Council's intent in Section G(1)
(3) No court may decline to enforce the severability requirements in Sections G(1)
and G(2) on the ground that severance would "rewrite" the ordinance or involve the
court in legislative or lawmaking activity. A court that declines to enforce or enjoins a
7
city official from enforcing a subset of an ordinance's applications is never "rewriting"
an ordinance, as the ordinance continues to say exactly what it said before. A judicial
injunction or declaration of unconstitutionality is nothing more than a non-
enforcement edict that can always be vacated by later courts if they have a different
understanding of what the Constitution requires; it is not a formal amendment of the
language in a statute or ordinance. A judicial injunction or declaration of
unconstitutionality no more "rewrites" an ordinance than a decision by the executive
not to enforce a duly enacted ordinance in a limited and defined set of
circumstances.
(4) If any federal or state court ignores or declines to enforce the requirements of
Sections G(1), G(2), or G(3), or holds a provision of this ordinance invalid on its face
after failing to enforce the severability requirements of Sections G(1) and G(2), for
any reason whatsoever, then the Mayor shall hold delegated authority to issue a
saving construction of the ordinance that avoids the constitutional problems or other
problems identified by the federal or state court, while enforcing the provisions of the
ordinance to the maximum possible extent. The saving construction issued by the
Mayor shall carry the same force of law as an ordinance; it shall represent the
authoritative construction of this ordinance in both federal and state judicial
proceedings; and it shall remain in effect until the court ruling that declares invalid or
enjoins the enforcement of the original provision in the ordinance is overruled,
vacated, or reversed.
(5) The Mayor must issue the saving construction described in Section G(4) within 20
days after a judicial ruling that declares invalid or enjoins the enforcement of a
provision of this ordinance after failing to enforce the severability requirements of
Sections G(1) and G(2). If the Mayor fails to issue the saving construction required by
Section G(4) within 20 days after a judicial ruling that declares invalid or enjoins the
enforcement of a provision of this ordinance after failing to enforce the severability
requirements of Sections G(1) or G(2), or if the Mayor's saving construction fails to
enforce the provisions of the ordinance to the maximum possible extent permitted by
the Constitution or other superseding legal requirements, as construed by the federal
or state judiciaries, then any person may petition for a writ of mandamus requiring the
Mayor to issue the saving construction described in Section G(4).
H. EFFECTIVE DATE
This ordinance shall go into immediate effect upon majority vote within the Lubbock,
Texas City Council meeting.
