Reproductive Justice Fund

As the Texas legislative session ends there are new bills passed that could again reshape the state’s access to abortion care. Advocates for reproductive freedom are condemning the passage of Senate Bill 31, The Life of the Mother Act and SB 33, a ban on San Antonio's Reproductive Justice Fund.

The 6-5 vote launched an expedited procurement process that will end with the city council deciding in June which organizations and services receive portions of the $100,000 allocation.

The money would have been used to support 'downstream services' — which include abortion travel, STI testing, home pregnancy tests, and more.

The half-million-dollar fund will be used to counter the impact of the Texas abortion ban but will not support paying for women to travel out of state for abortion care.
