Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has issued cease-and-desist letters to Plan C, Her Safe Harbor, and affiliates of Aid Access, accusing them of promoting and distributing abortion-inducing drugs in Texas. According to the Texas Attorney General's office website, Paxton stated the action follows cases where abortion pills were illegally obtained and used, resulting in the hospitalization of a woman and the death of an unborn child.
The letters cite alleged violations of the federal Comstock Act and Texas’ Human Life Protection Act. They order the groups to stop advertising and sending abortion-inducing drugs into Texas. Failure to comply could result in lawsuits, injunctions, and civil penalties of at least $100,000 per violation.
Paxton emphasized that his office will enforce state law regarding the distribution of these drugs. The matter is part of the broader legal conflict between state abortion restrictions and organizations advocating for reproductive access.
