‘They’re not going to help’: Texas attorney general sues Delaware abortion provider in first test of state’s shield law
['January']
WHYY
A Delaware telehealth abortion provider is being sued by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
The lawsuit accuses Debra Lynch’s telehealth service, Her Safe Harbor, of violating Texas law by routinely sending abortion-inducing pills to women across state lines.
Texas has banned most abortions, with medical providers risking decades in prison and at least $100,000 in fines.
The drugs are illegal there and state law makes it a felony to supply them by mail or other means.
Lynch has an active nursing license in Delaware and state law allows nurse practitioners to prescribe the medication.
