The city council’s move won’t make abortion legal in Dallas, but it does aim to keep it a low priority for law enforcement when the state’s trigger law banning abortions goes into effect.
Dallas City Council approved a measure on Wednesday to restrict the use of city resources to investigate abortions.The resolution was approved in a 13-1 vote with only Councilman Adam McGough opposing.
The resolution requires that any investigations into abortions will be the lowest priority for enforcement.At Wednesday’s city council meeting, while there were some supporters of the vote, there was also a number of people who didn’t want it to happen."Pass this resolution, and you will be doing your job," another person said.
"This will further conflict between the city and the state," he said. "The major cities in Texas are Democratic whereas the state as a whole is Republican."
