San Antonio mayoral candidates say reproductive fund shouldn't pay for abortion travel

Both of San Antonio's mayoral candidates voiced opposition Wednesday to San Antonio's Reproductive Justice Fund being used to help residents obtain abortions out of state. District 8 Councilman Manny Pelaez and District 9 Councilman John Courage — the only two members of council to officially declare runs for the city's top elected office — said they back the fund but not if it spends taxpayer money on travel to skirt Texas' ban on nearly all abortions. That put the pair in the same corner as District 10's Marc Whyte, council's most conservative member, during a B Session debate on how use the $500,000 fund.
