DALLAS — The Dallas City Council called on federal lawmakers to protect reproductive rights Wednesday.
Council members voted 10-1 to approve a resolution reiterating Dallas’ stance supporting unrestricted access to abortions and saying the city is committed to working with local leaders to advance policies that increase access. The city also plans to send copies of the resolution to Gov. Greg Abbott and Dallas representatives in the state House and Senate.
“The City of Dallas is committed to a world where abortion care is affordable, available and supported for everyone who needs it,” the resolution said.
