Legislation restricting the production and distribution of chemical abortion pills in Texas through civil liability, additional powers granted to the state attorney general, and wrongful death claims passed the Texas Senate, where it will die unless a quorum is met in the House on Friday.
Senate Bill (SB) 6, also known as the Woman and Child Protection Act, by state Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) fulfills one of Gov. Greg Abbott’s first called special session priorities that failed during the regular session, which is to curb the distribution — typically via online transactions — of chemical abortion pills into the Lone Star State.
