Former attorneys in Arkansas and Illinois have filed separate state lawsuits against Dr. Alan Braid, who in a weekend Washington Post opinion column became the first Texas abortion provider to reveal he violated the law that took effect on Sept. 1.
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced his department has filed a lawsuit against Texas for its restrictive law against abortions.DALLAS -- A San Antonio doctor who said he performed an abortion in defiance of a new Texas law all but dared supporters of the state's near-total ban on the procedure to try making an early example of him by filing a lawsuit — and by Monday, two people obliged.
Oscar Stilley, who described himself in court paperwork as a disgraced former lawyer who lost his law license after being convicted of tax fraud in 2010, said he is not opposed to abortion but sued to force a court review of Texas’ anti-abortion law, which he called an “end-run.” Gomez said he wasn't aware he could claim up to $10,000 in damages if he won his lawsuit. If he received money, Gomez said, he would likely donate it to an abortion rights group or to the patients of the doctor he sued.
“I fully understood that there could be legal consequences — but I wanted to make sure that Texas didn’t get away with its bid to prevent this blatantly unconstitutional law from being tested,” Braid wrote. Braid could not immediately be reached for comment Monday. His clinic referred interview inquiries to the center.
