A man in Texas, testified complaint against three women who, according to him, gave to his ex-girlfriend abortion pills to terminate her pregnancy.

In Texas the abortion is now illegal while the lawsuits first appear to be the first since the Supreme Court overturned last June’s Roe v. Wade, dynamiting women’s right to abortion, overturning a 50-year-old precedent. And those lawsuits are against the abortion pills that have become critical to abortion access in the country.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday, states that anyone who helps a woman have an abortion can be prosecuted for homicideunder Texas law.

The plaintiff, Marcus Silva, he claims that his ex-wife became pregnant in July 2022 while they were still married and hid her pregnancy from him.

Silva accuses three women of helping his ex-partner have an abortion, giving her the so-called and “pill the next days” and he himself says that it is based on private messages that the women exchanged with each other.

In the text messages, which appear to be friendly in tone, two of these women they explain to Marcus Silva’s ex-girlfriend how to get these pills. The third woman listed would take responsibility for delivering the pills, according to the complainant.

The plaintiff even intends to sue him manufacturer of the pills for the abortion his ex-wife used, if he is identified, according to the lawsuit.

His ex-partner Marcus Silva, however, is not being prosecuted.

Abortion pills are at the center of the abortion access controversy in the US, where 54% of abortions performed are medication.

These pills are considered necessary for the defenders of this right. Women in 15 US States where abortion is illegal they can travel to neighboring states to get the pills, a process simpler than surgery.

For the same reasons, opponents of abortion want to ban them at all costs.

Marcus Silva is also represented by one local Republican elected officialo and by conservative attorney Jonathan Mitchell, architect of Texas’ recent highly restrictive abortion law.

A conservative Texas judge is also expected to rule soon on the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of the abortion pill. A long-awaited decision, as this may lead to to ban these pills across the US.
