Texas Pro-Life Law Takes Effect to Stop Mail-Order Abortion Pills
Texas is now the strongest state in America to crack down on mail-order abortion pills. A new Pro-Life law took effect today that allows citizens to sue companies and activists who illegally kill preborn babies, even if they’re hiding in liberal states.
This is the nation’s boldest, most expansive effort to target the underground abortion industry.
Until now, activists trafficked at least 19,000 orders of abortion drugs into Texas per year. These pills starve preborn children to death and expel the baby’s body from the womb. At the same time, one in ten women who take them end up in the emergency room. They are also easily purchased by abusers and human traffickers who secretly poison pregnant women and kill their preborn babies.

The Woman and Child Protection Act by Rep. Jeff Leach (R-Plano), sponsored by Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola), will:
- Allow Texans to shut down companies that illegally sell abortion pills;
- Let women harmed by illegal abortions sue traffickers; and
- Help Pro-Lifers stop abortion activists who are hiding in liberal states.
Anyone who breaks the law can face a $100,000 lawsuit for each violation.
The Woman and Child Protection Act does not punish pregnant women and has clear protections for legitimate medical care. This means that medical professionals have nothing to worry about when treating ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages, life-threatening emergencies, and other lawful medical purposes unrelated to intentionally ending a baby’s life.
Even with this new law, Texas needs help from Washington, D.C., to go after companies that ship abortion pills from overseas. President Trump doesn’t have to wait for Congress; he can save lives today by enforcing an existing ban on mail-order abortions, the Comstock Act.
Texas Right to Life looks to copy our success across the nation to rescue babies, help mothers, and end the abortion industry’s criminal network.
