Texas Legislature Advances Strict Measures Against Abortion Pills

The Texas state legislature has approved a series of significant bills targeting the distribution and prescription of abortion pills. Lawmakers have passed legislation that allows private citizens to sue abortion pill providers, including those located out-of-state, marking a shift towards civil enforcement of abortion-related laws. Key measures include a ban on mail-order abortion pills and the empowerment of Texans to pursue lawsuits against both providers and distributors. These bills, which have garnered widespread attention and mixed reactions, are now set to be reviewed by the governor for final approval, positioning Texas as a leader in restricting access to abortion-inducing medication.
