Government agencies in Texas will not be allowed to have contract agreements with abortion providers or their affiliates, lawmakers ruled late Tuesday night.

The state lawmakers approved Senate Bill 4, prohibiting local and state government agencies from engaging in financial contracts with abortion providers, in a 21-10 vote according to the Texas Tribune.

Texas laws don’t allow tax money to pay for abortions, but the new bill expands the provision to include any financial contracts that exist between government agencies and abortion clinics, as well as clinic affiliates that don’t provide abortions themselves.

That's good. I've been worried that the entire special session would be nothing but "bathroom bill, bathroom bill, bathroom bill".
