Three women in Texas are being sued for wrongful death by a man who claims they helped his now-ex-wife obtain medication for an abortion. It’s another test of state-enforced bans since the U.S. Supreme court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision.
In a lawsuit filed late Thursday in Galveston County, Marcus Silva alleges assisting in a self-administered abortion is tantamount to aiding a murder. Silva is seeking $1 million in damages.
Silva is being represented by Jonathan Mitchell - a former Texas solicitor general who helped create one of the state’s abortion bans - attorneys from conservative legal group Thomas More Society and state Rep. Briscoe Cain, a Houston-area Republican. According to the lawsuit, the manufacturer of the pills will also be named as a defendant once it is identified in the discovery process.
