US EditionTexas Has a New Abortion Pill Law. One Provider Plans to Continue Shipping Them
Texas law allows private citizens to sue providers or manufacturers of abortion pills with potential $100,000 rewards, intensifying legal battles over medication abortion access.
- Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a law on Wednesday allowing private citizens to sue anyone who helps send abortion pills into Texas.
- This law builds on prior abortion bans and contributes to a coordinated national effort to restrict abortion pill access and telehealth.
- In 2023, medication abortions made up nearly two-thirds of all procedures in the U.S., with telehealth and mail delivery playing crucial roles, leading several blue states to pass shield laws that protect providers from related legal actions.
- Angel Foster, leading The MAP which has sent pills to Texas about 10,000 times in two years, said her group will continue shipments despite anticipating some impact due to lawsuit fears.
- The law is expected to reduce abortion access in Texas by creating legal risks and fear, though ongoing resistance and legal challenges may limit its enforceability.
