Texas House passes law that would create 'bounty hunter' system to limit access to abortion medication
The Texas House on Thursday night approved legislation that would empower private citizens to sue anyone who makes or distributes abortion medication in Texas along with any out-of-state organizations or doctors who mail the drugs into the state. The House's 82-48 vote to approve House Bill 7 means it goes to the Texas Senate, which passed a similar proposal during the regular legislative session. The Republican-controlled upper chamber is expected to approve the proposal, which seeks to force a legal showdown over shield laws enacted by states where abortion is legal.
