don’t forget Ken Paxton is being a real asshole to women in Texas — AND ALSO to doctors & nurses across the country. he’s going after #AidAccess doctors for helping women, under the state’s newly passed #abortion bounty hunter law.
(as in, bounty hunting women over abortions).

Going through the latest in Rodriguez v. Coeytaux & realized the procedural posture might be confusing.
This is the same “don’t mail #abortion pills to #TX” lawsuit that Mitchell filed in July against the #CA doctor, but with additional claims+seeking additional relief under the new bill #HB7.

Statement from Physicians for Reproductive Health about new Texas bill targeting abortion medication
After Greg Abbott signed #HB7 (which targets medication abortion) yesterday, Physicians for Reproductive Health @prh.org is out with a statement from Dr. Ghazaleh Moayedi:
UPDATE: Governor Abbott officially signed #HB7 today and it takes effect on December 4.
#Texas lawmakers pass bill allowing private citizens to sue abortion pill distributors
The TX legislature on Wednesday passed a bill enabling private citizens to sue anyone who mails or distributes #AbortionMedication to or from TX, fortifying the state's existing ban on the medical procedure […]
After stalling during the regular session, a bill that allows private citizens to sue health care providers or manufacturers who mail or prescribe abortion medication to Texans has now passed both chambers during this second special session. Here's the @texassignal.bsky.social story about #HB7.
Earlier today, #HB7 advanced in the Texas Senate. This bill allows private citizens to sue health care providers or manufacturers who mail or prescribe abortion medication to Texans. More about the bill specifics here:
Call your reps! Tell them NOT to support #SB8. Tell them NOT to Support #HB7. These assaults on trans persons rights and on women's rights and healthcare will not go on without a fight.
Texas, I swear. This, plus everything else.
“Ya’ll” are fully occupied by Trump and MAGA. You’re not an independent state anymore.

Why didn’t the DEMS stay the F out of the state?! They came back for this??
Christian nationalism is steering the #txlege GOP today…policing bodies, bathrooms, and forcing pregnancies. It’s predatory, menacing surveillance masquerading as policy. As Rep Vince Perez said, it’s #SickAndTwisted

And just like that, the Texas House gives initial approval to #HB7, a bill that allows private citizens to sue health care providers or manufacturers who mail or prescribe abortion medication to Texans
...and childbirth previously being one of the most common causes of death in women of childbearing age. even women with anti-abortion views experience it. 4/4 #txlege #HB7
it is not stoked by abortion proponents. it's caused by pregnancy making women more at risk of every negative life outcome from complications of existing medical conditions to murder... 3/4 #txlege #HB7
it is linked to postpartum depression and other negative life outcomes. it was first described in the 1800s and was prevalent before abortion was legal. 2/4 #txlege #HB7
tokophobia (aka fear of pregnancy and childbirth) is extremely common. it affects around 14% of pregnant women and up to 43% of women of childbearing age. 1/4 #txlege #HB7
*PRIVATE* right to sue - anyone - who’s prescribed or mailed - the abortion medication mifepristone - to someone in Texas.
Proof of abortion *not* required. #HB7
Thanks, #Texas!
a dude who wants to end a woman's pregnancy is not gonna tell her he's putting abortion pills or rat poison in her food. he may just get a gun. pregnancy increases risks to women of all kinds including being murdered. #txlege #HB7
Also speaking out against the bill is Rep. Jolanda Jones, who notes the anti-business angle of #HB7. "You could sue mail-order pharmacies for doing their job, that’s not supporting business, that's strangling it." Also calls this "Big Brother meets the Handmaid's Tale."
Rep. Donna Howard is up now, calling this whole bill a "piece of... chicanery." She also calls this a "bounty hunting entrapment scheme" cooked up Jonathan Mitchell (the architect of the state's near-total abortion ban) #HB7
remember that when women started dying in Texas under the previous bill Jonathan Mitchell advocated for, he was unavailable for comment because he was shopping it in other states. #txlege #HB7
The author keeps repeating that this bill doesn't impact abortion medication when it's being used for a medical emergency, but many medical organizations completely disagree. They warn this will further endanger health care for Texans. #HB7
And we are back. The Texas House is now taking up #HB7. This bill allows private citizens to sue health care providers or manufacturers who mail or prescribe abortion medication to Texans. Some more background:
not sure I can hang in there through #HB7, y'all. hearing about how we're protecting more imaginary children when there are real children we could protect is not exactly going to go well. with their imaginary fingers, toes, eyelashes and buttholes. #txlege
📢🆘🤬😩🆘‼️
