The city of St. Louis is being sued by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican, for approving a measure that would offer women funds to travel out of state for abortions.

On July 15, the city’s Board of Aldermen passed Board Bill 61 (BB61), which sets up a $1.5 million “Reproductive Equity Fund,” with the money coming from the federal American Rescue Plan Act.
