The pro-life organization Texas Right to Life is planning to help launch civil lawsuits against people helping to illegally traffic abortion pills into Texas. Despite being a strongly pro-life state, there are some gaps in Texas law here.
Texas Right to Life President Dr. John Seago told KTRH, "Those laws have not kept pro-abortion groups and activists from promoting illegal abortions, or bringing abortion pills into Texas." Seago also pointed out that Democratic prosecutors are unlikely to bring the necessary charges to enforce Texas' pro-life laws.
Seago says that these civil lawsuits should help enforce these laws that left-wing groups and prosecutors are ignoring. He said, "This category of civil liability really gives regular citizens the right to go and correct a wrong, and hold those accountable that have participated in illegal activity."
He said that what these pro-abortion groups are doing is illegal, but right now, Texas just doesn't have the tools in place to stop them. He hopes that during the upcoming legislative session next spring, Texas Republicans use their control of the House and Senate to strengthen our pro-life laws and make them more enforceable.
