In Texas, stories from pregnant individuals highlight the fear and desperation experienced under strict abortion laws. Despite these challenges, many Texans resort to obtaining abortion pills via telemedicine. Surprisingly, anti-abortion activists, including legislators, are focusing on attributing negative health outcomes to the pills rather than the restrictive laws themselves. This has led to the introduction of new legislation aimed at limiting access to these medications, with lawmakers labeling users as victims harmed by abortion pills, rather than addressing the systemic issues caused by the state's abortion restrictions.
In recent weeks, those inside the Texas Statehouse have heard story after story of pregnant people getting sick at home, afraid to call a doctor or go to the hospital.
Texas Republicans are now pushing a sweeping bill intended to crack down on the influx of the medication into the state.
