Despite warnings from Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, some members of the St. Louis County Council want to allocate COVID-19 relief funds for the purpose of reimbursing women for abortions they secure in other states.

“I don’t understand why St. Louis Democrats believe this is even legal,” said Paul Berry, a Republican who is campaigning to represent Missouri’s 2nd Congressional District.
