Ken Paxton
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Debra Lynch, a Delaware-based nurse practitioner who operates an organization known as Her Safe Harbor, alleging the group illegally shipped abortion-including drugs into Texas in direct violation of state law.
According to the lawsuit, Her Safe Harbor routinely sends Mifepristone and misoprostol to women across state lines. The organization allegedly advertises abortion bills by mail and promises delivery to Texas within days.
Texas law prohibits the distribution of abortion drugs within the state, and the suit claims Lynch knowingly violated those restrictions.
The filinf reference a quote attributed to Lynch in which she acknowledged that she and her staff "mail a lot [of abortion drugs] to Texas," including shipments to Beaumont, Fulshear, Tomball, Houston, El Paso, and other major cities.
"The day of reckoning for this radical out-of-state abortion drug trafficker is here," said Paxton. "No one, regardless of where they live, will be freely allowed to aid in the murder of unborn children in Texas."
Paxton's lawsuit follows two recent cases in Texas involving the illegal acquisition of abortion-inducing drugs. In one case cited in the filing, a man allegedly purchased the drugs and secretly poisoned his girlfriend, resulting in the death of their unborn child and sending the woman to the hospital.
The cases, according to the Attorney General's Office, highlight what it described as the dangers posed by unregulated abortion drug distribution.
In addition to the lawsuit against Lynch, Paxton has taken legal action against two other abortion drug providers, Plan C and Coeytaux, ordering them to immediately cease promoting, selling, or facilitating the shipment of abortion drugs to Texas residents.
The Attorney General's office says the lawsuits are part of an ongoing effort to enforce Texas abortion laws and prevent the illegal distribution of abortion-inducing drugs within the state.
