Of course Capriglione didn't pay for abortions! If the women he was screwing needed abortions, he made them pay for them themselves.

State Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, who authored Texas’ “trigger ban” on abortion, said in a statement on Friday that he has never paid for an abortion. The statement, posted on X, came after Alex Grace — who describes herself as a mother of four, political news curator, and exotic dancer — alleged that the Southlake-based Republican has “funded several abortions for his own personal gain.”

The bombshell allegations were first reported on Friday by Current Revolt, a far-right publication hosted by Substack that has published some statewide reporting scoops and commentary that has referred to COVID and Black Lives Matter as “hoaxes.” Current Revolt claims it is “dedicated to delivering fact-based news and covering a wide range of political events, news, and topics relevant to Texans,” according to its website.

In a video interview, Grace answered questions about what she described as a long-term affair with the married state representative. She said she met Capriglione around 2004 when she was 18 and a young mother and was starting out as an exotic dancer. She said their intimate relationship began to crumble after more than a decade as “certain moves he was making politically” caused her “to question him as a man.”

“He was someone that portrays himself to be so anti-abortion. Yet he has funded several abortions for his own personal gain,” she said. Asked how she knew that, she said, “I think on this one, you’re just going to have to go with my word.” Grace did not specify whom the alleged abortions were for — herself or others.
