Anti-abortion protesters demonstrate in front of the U.S. Supreme Court Building on June 15, 2022 in Washington, DC.A Texas man is suing three Houston women who helped his ex-wife terminate her pregnancy, a test of the state’s near-total abortion ban.
The lawsuit, filed in state court in Galveston, argues that assisting a self-managed abortion amounts to murder under Texas law.5 women sue Texas, saying its abortion ban put themselves or their fetuses at risk It says Marcus Silva of Galveston County only recently learned that his ex-wife terminated the pregnancy last July, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing the state’s ban to take effect. It accuses the three women of helping her obtain abortion pills and convincing her to conceal their “murderous actions” from Silva.
Silva, who is suing for wrongful death and conspiracy, is represented by Jonathan Mitchell, a former state solicitor general who helped draft the abortion ban, and state Rep. Briscoe Cain, a Deer Park Republican.This is a developing story; check back for updates.
