Community Impact News is reporting that the Central Health Board of Managers for Travis County will stop using income from taxpayers to fund abortion services.
Central Health, according to Impact News, says the decision is in response to the passage of Senate Bill 7, which states that "except in the case of a medical emergency, a hospital district that uses tax revenue to finance the performance of an abortion may not receive state funding."
While we'd like to know how the annual half-million in taxpayer dollars will be reallocated, its good news that the public will no longer be made complicit in a procedure that most find objectionable. I wrote about the Central Health Board's poor reasoning behind their past decision for taxpayer-funded abortions in Travis County. You can find those posts here and here.
