Texas man sues 3 women who helped ex-wife get abortion pills in first-of-its-kind case
Fox News
A Texas man is taking his ex-wife's friends to court, claiming they helped helped her obtain medication to terminate her pregnancy without his knowledge, breaking state law.
"If no one went and checked for a fetal heartbeat before performing an abortion, we have a problem," said attorney Briscoe Cain, a Republican state representative in Texas helping with the case, who spoke with Fox News Digital.

Silva claims in the suit that his then-wife learned she was pregnant in July 2022 and kept the pregnancy a secret from him while she coordinated with two friends to obtain abortion-inducing medication.
The lawsuit bases many of its claims around alleged screenshots from a group chat between the wife and the two friends. The alleged texts show the friends attempting to help her terminate her pregnancy and sending her information about Aid Access, an organization that sends abortion-inducing medication through the mail, according to a report from the Texas Tribune.
