San Antonio mayor claps back at anti-abortion protesters during Monday event

On Monday, San Antonio anti-abortion protesters did their best to turn an event unveiling a new medical fund for low-income women into a circus. Planned Parenthood South Texas held the gathering at San Antonio City Hall to discuss its new program aimed at improving access to routine reproductive health care. Even though the fund has little to do with abortion, the presser was nearly derailed by anti-abortion protesters, who heckled speakers and lobbed at least one verbal attack at Mayor Ron Nirenberg's mother. Named after former PPST's board chair member Elise Boyan's great grandmother, the organization's Fanny Fund will help uninsured South Texas women receive essential care, including birth control, wellness exams and menopause care.
