Texas Man Sues Women for Wrongful Death in Helping Ex-Wife Get Abortion Pills

A man in Texas has filed a lawsuit that claims women who assisted his ex-wife in obtaining abortion pills have "committed the crime of murder" and seeks $1 million in damages from each of them, with the lawsuit being one of the first major challenges under a state abortion ban since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, with legal experts disagreeing on the lawsuit's chances of winning the recognition of "fetal personhood" in Texas law, although it's important to note that the plaintiff's lawyer is the former Texas solicitor general who devised the state abortion bounty law, which gives citizens the power to collect $10,000 "bounties" if they successfully identify anyone who aids and abets abortions by physicians.
