So, what's going on in San Antonio? Well, the city just officially closed its $100,000 Reproductive Justice Fund. This fund was set up to help people pay for travel if they needed to go out of state for an abortion. It’s a pretty big deal, and it comes after a legal fight with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and a brand-new state law. Attorney General Paxton announced this settlement on Friday. He’s been pretty vocal about this, saying Texas respects "unborn life" and that he'd stop "radicals from manipulating the system." Paxton believes it’s just plain illegal for cities to use taxpayer money for what he calls "abortion tourism." Back in April, San Antonio City Council members approved that $100,000. It was meant to cover things like travel and other costs for out-of-state abortions. The very next day, Paxton’s office sued. They argued the city was trying to get around Texas law and public policy, even bringing up the "gift clause" in the Texas Constitution, which limits how local governments can spend public money. Turns out, the state’s 15th Court of Appeals agreed with Paxton, at least initially. They put a stop to the city giving out that $100,000. Then, in August, Governor Greg Abbott jumped into the mix. He signed Senate Bill 33 into law. This new rule specifically bans using public money for "logistical support" when it comes to abortion. And here’s a kicker: it also lets any Texas resident file a civil lawsuit if they think a city is breaking this law. That’s a powerful tool for folks who want to enforce this ban. Because of all this, San Antonio had to scrap its fund. And they’re not alone. Just a month after SB 33 became law, the city of Austin also shut down its abortion travel fund. Austin had set aside $400,000 in 2024 to help women with travel, food, and lodging if they went out of state for an abortion. Now, that money is off-limits too. This whole situation really highlights the ongoing tension between state laws and local attempts to navigate reproductive rights in Texas.
