By: Governor Greg Abbott
Governor Greg Abbott today announced that his call to prohibit local and state government from using taxpayer dollars to fund abortion providers is generating growing support across Texas. Prohibiting taxpayer funding of abortion providers and their affiliates is part of the Governor’s 20-item agenda for the ongoing special legislative session.
“The Texas Legislature has worked hard over the past several sessions to ensure public tax dollars are not used to fund abortions. Governor Abbott is making sure that Texas taxpayers are not forced to fund abortion providers and their affiliates, and we are encouraged that the legislature will continue their work on this issue.” – Joe Pojman, Ph.D., Executive Director, Texas Alliance for Life
