Woman's family sues Texas AG Ken Paxton over death allegedly caused by "merciless" abortion ban
The family of a Texas woman has filed a lawsuit against Attorney General Ken Paxton, alleging that the state’s strict abortion laws prevented her from receiving life-saving medical care for preeclampsia. The complaint argues that her death was preventable and occurred because physicians were deterred from performing a necessary procedure due to the ban. This legal action is part of a series of challenges regarding how medical exceptions are applied under Texas law.
