The money will fund transportation, lodging, care “and, if necessary, safe and legal access to an abortion,' Lightfoot said.

The city of Chicago will spend $500,000 to support abortion access for residents and people from neighboring states in anticipation of Roe v. Wade being overturned, Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Monday.

Lightfoot’s pledge comes after a leaked draft of a Supreme Court ruling previewed the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion rights case. Reiterating a concern she first expressed after the opinion leaked, Lightfoot said the case’s repeal could lead to gay and interracial marriages being outlawed.

Help the homeless in Chicago

Would be nice if the city could find money to fix the potholes by my house

Why does Illinois plan on making abortion illegal

thats essentially pennies

Wish they would've had this type of funding before she was born so they could abort this hideous creature.

Chicago has the highest homicide rate in the country and this is what the mayor is worried about its nice to see that she has her priorities straight

This is not her money to give away for something like this.

Perhaps spend $500k on making our city safer from the never ending violence?

SHE HAS NO RIGHT TO DO THAT WITH OUR MONEY AND I FORBID IT IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!

Well its the “murder” capital of the country with all the crime- What a perfect city to keep the murdering going!

That lady has big balls, and I love it! Who in their right mind would take on mayo of Chicago

500k is a tiny sum for this. Nice gesture though. I guess.

If the MEN of Chicago allow this monster to steal their money and give it to child-killers, they need to turn in their man cards.

Demonic

Supreme Court Breach: Roe v. Wade - Dobbs was not the first leak from the US Supreme Court - RoeVsWade SCOTUS

Lets just ignore her inciting violence. But wait. Here comes the idiots: COMMENT BELOW

So do the taxpayers get to pay for that whether they want to or not?

How about $500 k for free long term birth control. That would go much farther

Notice that nobody is talking about Colorado and free long term birth control and the $$$ saved......I guess the abortion industry has a lobby too.

Let’s go beetle juice

What about crime control?

Planned Parenthood is pretty well funded. Why do they need extra public funds?

There’s never been a better time to indulge in a little Chi-Town p-u-s-s-y. LoriLightfoot , you single 👀?

GOOD FOR HER

Only 500k? Come on Lori.

Reminds me of how I looked after I lost 'The Glow'.... ShoNuff

But about that crime tho...?!

I've never seen so many women hell bent on murdering babies in my entire lifetime!

That would be better spent on down payment for a new prison.

Somebody’s getting paid!

Great job!! We need Ethics rules for SCOTUS. They are able to get paid speaking engagements without oversight. Organizations like the Federalist Society can buy rulings. Why does Alito take speaking engagements and get paid by the Federalist Society? It’s wrong and unethical

Interesting. The slaughter of millions of African American babies for BILLIONS. I'm not surprised that she's worried about losing $$$$ from abortions.

No pledge to keep Chicago residents alive tho 🤔

Meaning one way or another this Mayor is going to get kids killed in Chicago. Abortion before you can be born or gun violence after.

Lori just wants to increase her murder high score.

She allows the Citizens to kill each other...... so why not?

Twitter let me guess this doesn't break amy leftist twitter rules?

🥜

'She' can't even take care of 'her' city, but can let the taxpayers foot her personal wishes without any repercussions or putting the question (roe v wade) to those who have to foot the bill for her fanatical ideas.

KiKiPosting Stand your ground against that fetus that's going to kill you ladies. 2nd amendment all the way, no judge in this LAND would dare convict you, Court case coming next. SCOTUSblog

Awesome LoriLightfoot ~

Lori Lightfoot clearly isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed! 😂😂😂

Christianity you said you will support? Compel your city to repent and seek forgiveness 🙏🙏

So you also will stand for those who think abortion is a sin without prejudice? I want you to debate life in light of A CHRSTIAN worldview!!!

peanuts

She also claimed that a molotov cocktail was lodged at a abortion clinic in Madison, WI. Truth, it was a pro choice office.

Where is she finding this money? How about helping homeless veterans first?

?

Spending more $$ again that she doesn’t have on a cause she supports. Not necessarily the people paying for it. She really has to go!

I would invest that to fight all the black gang violence instead
