"Access to the full range of reproductive health care should be a fundamental right," Fuentes told KUT last week, emphasizing the importance of the fund.
"Reproductive care should never ever be criminalized," she said. "And no one should be forced to leave their communities, and those they love, to find access to essential health care services."
The Reproductive Justice Fund, with a budget of $400,000, aims to assist individuals seeking out-of-state abortions, countering Texas’ restrictive laws.
Despite the lawsuit claiming use of taxpayer money is illegal, city officials believe the fund is a necessary resource for reproductive rights.
