San Antonio City Council voted 9-2 Tuesday to approve a largely symbolic resolution recommending that city funds not be used to pay for investigations intended to enforce state anti-abortion laws.The adopted resolution doesn't legalize or decriminalize abortion in San Antonio. However, it does offer guidance that city funds shouldn't be used to collect or share information on abortions to be passed on to other government entities pursuing criminal investigations.
Texas' so-called"trigger law" banning nearly all abortions is scheduled to go into effect Aug. 25. That law was enabled by the conservative-dominated U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, undoing nearly 50 years of federal abortion protections. of the San Antonio ordinance to advocate for women during the next session of the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature.
Multiple supporters of the resolution shared their own abortion stories, expressing concern that a lack of women's healthcare will increase risks for the poor and people of color. A few urged council to give the measure more teeth by including language making abortion prosecutions the lowest priority for San Antonio police.
