Story summary
  • Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Debra Lynch, a Delaware nurse practitioner, for allegedly prescribing and mailing abortion pills to Texas women.
  • The case reflects a broader Republican effort to restrict abortion drugs such as mifepristone, used in 60% of U.S. abortions, and tests shield laws protecting providers from out-of-state prosecutions.
  • Lynch's telemedicine service, Her Safe Harbor, claims to provide abortion pills nationwide.
