Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Delaware nurse practitioner Debra Lynch and her organization, Her Safe Harbor, for allegedly sending abortion drugs, including mifepristone and misoprostol, into Texas, which is prohibited by state law. The lawsuit comes after cases in the state where men reportedly obtained these drugs to induce abortions without the pregnant person's consent, according to the Office of the Texas Attorney General.
Paxton emphasized the legal stakes, stating, "The day of reckoning for this radical out-of-state abortion drug trafficker is here." He describes Lynch’s actions as a violation of Texas law and a disregard for state protections on life, as reported by the Office of the Texas Attorney General.
The Office of the Texas Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Lynch and Her Safe Harbor to stop abortion medications from being mailed into the state. Paxton has previously sent cease-and-desist letters to other organizations, including Plan C and Coeytaux, to halt sending abortion drugs to Texas residents.
