Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is going after the city of Austin for its budgetary allocation to support out of state abortion services. Paxton’s office announced Friday it has filed a lawsuit against the city. Austin officials earlier this month confirmed the city was moving forward with its Reproductive Health Grant program.
The grant is a 400-thousand-dollar allocation included in the city’s fiscal year 2024-25 budget. The funds are meant to support residents who are seeking abortion care outside of Texas. The money can cover travel and lodging expenses and other costs.
