Two people are suing a Texas doctor days after he wrote in an op-ed that he performed an abortion in defiance of the state's near-total ban on the procedure. The plaintiffs are seeking to test the legality of the new ban.
FILE - In this Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2021 file photo, Barbie H. leads a protest against the six-week abortion ban at the Capitol in Austin, Texas. Dozens of people protested the abortion restriction law that went into effect Wednesday.
They both came in ahead of the state’s largest anti-abortion group, which said it was looking into the matter. Neither ex-lawyer who filed suit said they were anti-abortion. But both said courts should weigh in.The Texas law prohibits abortions once medical professionals can detect cardiac activity, which is usually around six weeks and before some womenProsecutors cannot take criminal action against Braid, because the law explicitly forbids that.
Felipe N. Gomez, of Chicago, asked a court in San Antonio in his lawsuit to declare the new law unconstitutional. In his view, the law is a form of government overreach. He said his lawsuit is a way to hold the Republicans who run Texas accountable, adding that their lax response to public health during the COVID-19 pandemic conflicts with their crack down on abortion rights.
