Abortion pill providers targeted by new Texas law refuse ‘anticipatory obedience’ | Abortion
On Wednesday, the Governor of the Republic of Texas, Greg Abbott signed a draft law that allowed people to sue for people who were suspected of production, distributing or posting to Texas or Texas. The first example of its species is almost certain, as it significantly increased the state of abortion according to the state on abortion laws in the United States-especially some non-state abortion providers have already promised to send pills to Teksans.
The founder of the Massachusetts Pharmaceutical Access Project (MAP), a group of Massachusetts Pharmaceutical Access Project (MAP), which is a group with a -based group to send abortion pills to patients in the USA, said, ‘No expected obedience’. “We will continue to provide maintenance in Massachusetts until they can not do this legally.”
In accordance with the new law that will enter into force on December 4, abortion providers may face penalties of at least $ 100,000 if they mail pills to the state that prohibits almost all abortions. The drug manufacturers who make medicines used by the Texas for abortion may also be responsible, but in the court, “abortion language or more extensively applied, abortion language or not extensively implemented.
John Seago, President of Texas Right to Life and John Seago, the chief supporter of the new legislation, said in an interview before the bill’s passage, “We want to create responsibility for the manufacturers used by access.” Aid access is one of the largest tendency and abortion services in the USA. Between 2023 and 2024, he sent approximately 120,000 abortion pills to the US residents.
Seago continued: “The best thing we can do at this point is to create a higher responsibility and try to deterrent some of these individuals.”
The law represents the end of the campaign against abortion pills and Telehealth’s campaign against abortion. In December 2024, #wecount found that about 4,000 Texas used Telehealth to end their pregnancy.
Such as map pills under legal innovations known as “Kalkan Laws olan, which aims to protect the abortion providers from non -governmental prosecution when they send pills to states with bans. However, the laws of shield have not yet been seriously tested in court.
Rachel Rebouché, a Professor of Texas University of Austin Law Faculty, examining the laws of Kalkan, said Texas’s new laws were the first legislative difficulties to protect the laws. However, the state already challenged them in other ways. The Texas Chief Public Prosecutor Republican Ken Paxton sent a website stop and desist letters that provide information about abortion pill providers and abortion pills. In addition, a New York doctor, as well as a New York doctor accused of posting abortion pills, as well as a New York Court official, who said that the New York’s shield law prevented the Dr. Texas penalty against the Doctor. New York’s Chief Public Prosecutor Letitia James announced that it would intervene in this case.
Rebouché, the abortion pill provider after Roe, has already accepted that his work involves a great risk. “But it can shudder, prevent or deterre people who do not want to be affected and do not want to face the risk of responsibility.”
Debra Lynch, a nurse practitioner who worked with the group in an interview before the Abbott sign signed the law, said that the Safa Port, which uses laws to mail people to mail abortion pills and received one of Paxton’s stop and-denist letters, said that there is no plan to block Texans. In fact, as the Texas law approached the passage in the state legislative council, according to Lynch, the safe port, he began to receive a lot of help from the patients he had to double the number of abortion provider.
Lynch said, “Not acne, not guilty, even if a law was passed after us – this would have no effect on the services we provide,” Lynch said. “It is important for women to know this.”
