Texas Right to Life told Jezebel this was the next step in stopping people from helping abortion patients from leave the state.
In September, the San Antonio City Council passed a record $3.7 billion budget, which included approval of $500,000 for a reproductive health fund. The fund is intended to help cover out-of-state travel for abortion patients, but could also cover things like STD testing and health training, according to Axios. The budget took effect October 1 and, on Tuesday, a bunch of anti-abortion groups sued the city, its mayor, and its city manager, to block the fund.
“It is unfortunate taxpayer funds will be spent on defending against this lawsuit based on misinformation and false allegations,” Segovia said in a statement to Jezebel. “The facts are that a decision has not been made on how that money will be used. The City Council will have an open work session to discuss the use of the funds that will be managed by the City’s Metro Health Department. The funds will be distributed in accordance with State and Federal Laws.
