Texas law bans abortion in nearly all instances except to save the mother’s life.

The city of Austin passed a budget last month that allocates $400,000 in grants to help cover the costs of airfare, gas, hotel stays, rides, childcare, companion travel and food for people leaving the state for abortions, according to the suit.

“Through passing laws that generally prohibit elective abortion, Texas has established public policy negating any argument that funding abortions procured out of state can serve a ‘clear public benefit’ - the two are mutually exclusive,” the suit states.
