Austin, Texas – Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Monday the arrest of a Houston-area woman for allegedly carrying out illegal abortions (a second-degree felony), operating a ring of illegal, unlicensed abortion facilities with employees falsely posing as medical professionals, and practicing without a medical license.

Attorney General Paxton issued a statement:

“In Texas, life is sacred. I will always do everything in my power to protect the unborn, defend our state’s pro-life laws, and work to ensure that unlicensed individuals endangering the lives of women by performing illegal abortions are fully prosecuted. Texas law protecting life is clear, and we will hold those who violate it accountable.”

Paxton is also suing a New York abortionist for unlawfully mailing abortion drugs to a Texas resident and practicing without a license. The drugs ended the life of an unborn child and caused the mother to hemorrhage and require treatment in the ER.

SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser praised Paxton, saying:

“The pro-life state of Texas is serious about safeguarding mothers and their babies. Texas law, like every other pro-life law in the country, protects pregnant women’s ability to receive life-saving care in a medical emergency. There is no excuse for illegal abortions that take the life of the baby and put women’s lives at risk, committed by people who don’t even have a medical license. Abortion activists’ reckless, criminal disregard for women’s lives and unborn life is on full display. We thank Attorney General Paxton for his strong leadership to put a stop to this brutality, including taking on sellers of dangerous abortion drugs across state lines, and hope others will follow his example. Women facing difficult or unexpected pregnancies deserve real care and assistance, not the cruel exploitation of the abortion industry.”

Ingrid Skop, M.D., FACOG, vice president and director of medical affairs at Charlotte Lozier Institute, also responded:

“As a board-certified ob-gyn practicing in Texas for over 30 years, I have cared for many women who have suffered at the hands of abortionists. We cannot discount the significant risks of harm these women face, including hemorrhage, sepsis, uterine damage, mental health complications and sometimes maternal death. As physicians, our patients must trust we will live out our Hippocratic Oath to do no harm.”

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
