The strategy propelled a first-of-its-kind lawsuit filed last month by #Texas AG [& all around POS] #KenPaxton that cited first-hand info from an unnamed “biological father” to accuse a NY doctor of illegally providing abortion pills to a woman in the Dallas area…
The case was inspired by a report Paxton’s office received from the man & emerged as part of a broader #abortion law enforcement op the AG has quietly created that includes searching for potential plaintiffs…
The DOJ has been investigating Texas AG Ken Paxton since 2020 on allegations that he misused his position to help a political donor. Under Trump, a Paxton ally, the yearslong investigation could come to an end.

@GottaLaff I have met so many young people from Florida relocating here in Washington state that I can’t help being but attribute their reasons to the fascist governments they leave behind. (They don’t mention the weather.) They’re quiet about it as I welcome them here. I don’t meet many from Texas, but I hear from medical relatives that practitioners are leaving. #TheOnesWhoWalkAwayFromOmelas #WomensHealth #AbortionMeds #KenPaxton #TexasIsNotTheUS
And so it has begun. #Texas #AntiAbortion #KenPaxton #NY
Texas AG Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit accusing a New York doctor of prescribing abortion drugs to a Texas resident in violation of state law.
This lawsuit is the first test. New York has a shield law that protects providers from out-of-state investigations and prosecutions, which has served as implicit permission for a network of doctors to mail abortion pills into states that have banned the procedure.

For the foreseeable future I can’t get my name legally changed and because of that won’t be able to vote as my true self. This is because the attorney general of #Texas is so obsessed with trans girls that he has directed our department of motor vehicles deny gender marker changes on a driver’s license. The directive also states to send him, to a specific email address, all documents associated with the name and gender marker change.

Josseli Barnica is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care. She’d told her husband that the medical team said it couldn’t act until the fetal heartbeat stopped.
