"In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused Debra Lynch, a Delaware-based nurse practitioner, of breaking Texas laws by shipping abortion pills that Lynch once estimated last January facilitated "up to 162 abortions per week" in the state. "No one, regardless of where they live, will be freely allowed to aid in the murder of unborn children in Texas," Paxton's press release said."
"Fretting that Her Safe Harbor continues to advertise that Texas patients can get access to abortion pills "within days," Paxton characterized Her Safe Harbor as an "extremist group" supposedly endangering women and unborn children in the state. To support that claim, Paxton cited two unrelated lawsuits where men allegedly ordered pills from other providers to poison pregnant partners and force miscarriages."
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit accusing Debra Lynch, a Delaware nurse practitioner, of violating Texas law by shipping abortion pills to people in Texas. Lynch estimated earlier that her shipments facilitated up to 162 abortions per week in Texas. Paxton previously sent a cease-and-desist to shut down Her Safe Harbor, the website Lynch runs with her husband and volunteer prescribers, and described the operation as an "extremist group," citing unrelated criminal cases. Lynch relied on Delaware's strengthened shield law that provides protection from civil and criminal actions arising in other states for health care services legal in Delaware. The dispute raises potential Supreme Court review of conflicts between abortion-ban states and shield-law states.
