Abortion has been outlawed in Texas for almost three years now, but still, Texans are finding ways to terminate their pregnancies. There’s been a steady flow of pills being mailed into the state, and abortion seekers traveling out of the state, resulting in a net positive number of abortions nationally since the procedure was banned.
This flouting of the laws is a real bugaboo of anti-abortion groups and Republican elected officials. They’ve tried to get the pills removed from the market, threatened the abortion funds and individuals who help people travel out of state, sued people who helped their friends get pills and, most recently, sued a New York doctor accused of providing pills to Texans.
