While speaking about her eye-opening experience during citizen comments in a Lubbock City Council meeting, when she realized the Council was not listening to constituents, Clark said, There are so many of us citizens that were sitting back thinking we had elected officials that were representing us well, when we realized that that was not necessarily true. Lehnen added, It was really a favor to us as Lubbock citizens, because we realized, Oh, they don t represent us, they don t have the same values in taking a stand where we need them and want them to, expect them to.

Lubbock will soon be at the center of the abortion debate here s what to expect
The abortion issue has wrestled its way to the local level, and it ll soon take center stage in Lubbock, where voters will be voting on an ordinance to outlaw abortions inside city limits.
Those arguing against the local ordinance say it is unconstitutional and unenforceable. The Lubbock City Council unanimously voted the ordinance down when it was put before them, citing legal issues in the ordinance and the current protections from the federal government for a woman to choose to have an abortion.
However, the low-bar to bring a citizen-led petition to a public vote allowed for exactly that, and beginning next month, citizens in Lubbock will be voting on an ordinance outlawing abortions inside city limits.
