Attorney General Eric Schmitt (R-MO) is suing the city of St. Louis for passing a bill that would allow private financial assistance to women traveling across state lines for an abortion.
Schmitt’s lawsuit comes just hours after Democratic Mayor Tishaura Jones signed an ordinance that would put $1 million in state funding toward helping women get abortions in other states.
Jones’ legislation would not directly pay for abortion procedures, instead, it would use federal COVID-19 relief money to fund a $1 million “Reproductive Equity Fund,” which would cover travel costs.
The lawsuit argues that the bill violates Missouri’s revised statutes prohibiting the use of public funds, employees and facilities to cover costs incurred for abortions, vowing to stop it. more
Jones will spend more than that million, probably way more, to have her lawyers fight the suit. The prog forces of evil are incorrigible.
If it’s a womans right to have an abortion and you abort a female fetus, then you are denying the future right of a woman to have an abortion.
