On Friday, Townhall posted an article about Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s shutting down on state funding of travel for abortion.
The article reports:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has successfully shut down San Antonio’s abortion travel fund, his office announced on Friday.
…In April 2025, the city had reportedly allocated $100,000 of taxpayer funds to the so-called “Reproductive Justice Fund” which would cover travel expenses for out-of-state abortions in order to circumvent the state’s pro-life policies. Soon after its establishment, Paxton sued the city, citing the Gift Clause of the Texas Constitution.
A state Court of Appeals issued a temporary injunction to prevent the funds from being dispersed, according to the Texas Tribune. The city then abandoned the fund after the injunction.
“Texas respects the sanctity of unborn life, and I will always do everything in my power to prevent radicals from manipulating the system to murder innocent babies,” said Paxton. “It is illegal for cities to fund abortion tourism with taxpayer funds. San Antonio’s unlawful attempt to cover the travel and other expenses for out-of-state abortions has now officially been defeated.”
The people who are constantly complaining about ‘white privilege’ need to take a look at abortion statistics.
According to GROK:
- Black women account for approximately 38% of all abortions, despite making up about 13% of the U.S. population.
- Hispanic women represent around 25% of abortions, reflecting their growing demographic in the country.
- White women have the lowest abortion rate among ethnic groups, comprising about 36% of total abortions.
- The abortion rate is higher among women living below the federal poverty line, which disproportionately affects minority communities.
- Access to reproductive health services varies significantly by ethnicity, impacting abortion rates.
- Studies indicate that systemic factors, such as healthcare access and education, contribute to these disparities in abortion statistics.
There is a reason most abortion clinics are located in minority neighborhoods. We need to go back to teaching young people (and older people) moral standards. Stricter abortion laws will help, but what would be more helpful is more resource centers to encourage women to keep their babies, mentor them through their pregnancies, and help them be self-sufficient after the baby is born.
