San Antonio campaigners bid for ballot measure to buck Texas abortion ban

More than 38,000 signatures collected for proposal that would decriminalize abortion in city despite statewide ban

Campaigners in San Antonio, Texas, on Tuesday delivered more than 38,000 signatures to the city clerk's office, petitioning for a May vote that would decriminalize abortion in the city.

Abortion in Texas has been banned since August 2022, following the supreme court decision to overturn Roe v Wade last summer.
