Anti-abortion groups sue San Antonio over reproductive justice fund

Plan includes $500,000 to organizations offering Texans care but it unclear if it will go to groups that help people get abortions

Several anti-abortion groups on Tuesday sued the city of San Antonio over the city's plan to create a reproductive justice fund and provide $500,000 to organizations that offer Texans reproductive care.

The lawsuit seeks to put a halt to the reproductive justice fund, which, it alleges, would give taxpayers' dollars to criminal organizations that violate the state's abortion laws" by helping people get abortions out of state. Because Texas law bans anybody from helping procure" an abortion, the lawsuit argues, if any part of the procurement' activity occurs within Texas, then the act is criminal even if the abortion that has been procured' takes place outside the state."
