On Monday, San Antonio anti-abortion protesters did their best to turn an event unveiling a new medical fund for low-income women into a circus.
The fund will underwrite vouchers that will be distributed to trusted community partners and health nonprofits, which will then be distributed to women otherwise unable to afford basic care, PPST CEO and President Laura Terrill said. The Fanny Fund won't directly fund abortion, a procedure outlawed in Texas two years ago by the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision.
Nirenberg, who had already shot the man a scathing look earlier in the event, turned to face him. The protester then made a comment about Nirenberg's mother, which led to the clearly frustrated mayor engaging in a heated exchange with the man.Following the press conference, some of the protesters stood and began speaking in tongues.
