Texas AG Arrests Multiple People Over Alleged Illegal Abortions in Sweeping Crackdown

What Happened: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the arrests of three individuals accused of illegally providing abortions in the state, where nearly all abortions are banned. This follows Paxton’s lawsuit against a New York doctor who provided abortion pills to a Texas woman.

Why It Matters: This marks a major escalation in Texas' abortion crackdown, setting a precedent for aggressive enforcement of post-Roe laws. With severe penalties of up to 20 years in prison, it underscores control over reproductive rights and raises questions about cross-state legal battles over abortion access.
