City of San Antonio asks judge to dismiss Reproductive Justice Fund lawsuit
Attorneys representing San Antonio asked the judge overseeing a lawsuit challenging the city's recently created Reproductive Justice Fund to throw out the case, arguing there's not yet been a decision on what services the money would cover, KSAT reports. The argument came during the first day of court hearings on the suit, which anti-abortion activists, including Texas Right to Life and the San Antonio Family Association, filed last October in Bexar County District Court. City Council created the Reproductive Justice Fund last fall to distribute money to nonprofits offering reproductive care in the wake of Texas banning nearly all abortions. In their suit, Texas Right to Life and the San Antonio Family Association, argue the $500,000 fund is illegal because it gives taxpayer money to "criminal organizations that violate the state's abortion laws."
