When state lawmakers earlier this year failed to pass a bill to further restrict the flow of abortion pills into Texas, John Seago from Texas Right to Life considered it among the biggest missed opportunities of the regular legislative session.
Texans have been mailing in abortion pills at a rapid clip even though they’re illegal statewide and in spite of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s attempts to punish out-of-state doctors who prescribe them. Tools to discourage the inundation haven’t worked.
“There is a significant gap in the enforcement of pro-life laws that pro-abortion activists have been exploiting in the last couple of years and that is what we are trying to respond to,” Seago said.
