He seems to think so!

Last Thursday, Texas state Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against a New York doctor for prescribing abortion pills to a resident of Texas, where — of course — abortion pills are illegal. ... Paxton has said he wants to stop Dr. Margaret Daley Carpenter of New Paltz, New York, a co-founder of the Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine, from mailing abortion pills to Texas and to be allowed to apply Texas’s law to her — which he says allows him to sue her for up to $250,000.

Right now, he only has one case. Over the summer, Dr. Carpenter prescribed and mailed mifepristone and misoprostol to a woman in Texas who made the mistake of asking the man who got her pregnant to take her to the emergency room for “severe bleeding” after taking the cocktail.

Said man “suspected that the biological mother had in fact done something to contribute to the miscarriage or abortion of the unborn child” and then, when he got home, he found the medications Dr. Carpenter sent her.

It turns out she was pretty smart not to want to give birth to that creep’s kid, because he ended up ratting her out to someone high up enough to get Paxton’s attention. Hopefully, she’ll come forward and out him so that no other woman makes the mistake of sleeping with him ever again.
