(WBAP/KLIF) – AUSTIN, TX – Ken Paxton is suing the City of Austin to prevent the city from using public money to fund expenses for women traveling out of Texas to procure abortions. In the approved budget for the fiscal year of 2024 and 2025, the City of Austin appropriated $400-thousand dollars in taxpayer money for the city’s ‘Reproductive Health Grant’ which funds the traveling expenses to access abortion.
The Attorney General is seeking a temporary restraining order to halt any distribution of funds while the litigation proceeds. Paxton also asked the court to grant temporary and permanent injunctions prohibiting Austin from spending taxpayer money on logistical support for abortions.
