Austin City Council cuts police funding, diverts to abortion
Friend,

Austin is doubling down on their stance as a sanctuary city for the abortion industry. The all-Democrat Austin City Council today cut funding for the Austin Police Department and redirected tax dollars to subsidize abortion.

Last year, the City of Austin circumvented ([link removed]) Texas law by including a line item of $150,000 in the city’s budget for abortion logistical services. While the funding cannot pay for the abortion procedure directly, this money is earmarked for expenses related to abortion, including transportation to the appointment, lodging, childcare, and legal services. Pro-Life Austinites have since sued ([link removed]) the city, however their 2019 lawsuits have been pending in county courts for almost a year.

In setting the budget for 2021, Austin has reaffirmed their commitment to killing preborn children with taxpayer dollars by increasing the funding allotted for “abortion access” to $250,000.

While Austin is predictably following the anti-Life liberal roadmap, other Texas cities continue to stake out territory as Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn ([link removed]) , prohibiting abortion in their jurisdictions and preventing abortion businesses from moving into their cities. As the Pro-Life movement, we must continue to offer pregnant women and their families Life-affirming support and not leave “care” in the hands of abortion organizations or misguided liberal cities.
