Texas Right to Life and other pro-life groups filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against the city of San Antonio over its decision to allocate $500,000 of taxpayer money to a fund that helps women get out-of-state abortions.

San Antonio City Council members had recently approved a $3.7 billion 2024 budget, which included a notable allocation of $500,000 to establish a “reproductive justice fund.”
