Bill to Stop Flow of Abortion Pills Into Texas Clears House Panel

  • Texas lawmakers passed Senate Bill 2880 out of committee in Austin to target the distribution of abortion-inducing drugs through the mail.
  • The bill aims to stop incoming abortion pills amid claims that bad actors subvert the state's abortion ban by flooding Texas with these drugs.
  • SB2880 expands the wrongful-death statute to allow lawsuits up to $100,000 against distributors without requiring proof the pills caused death, and bars state court constitutional challenges.
  • The bill passed committee with an 8-5 vote and features a provision allowing the attorney general to sue "on behalf of unborn children," while the House must decide on floor consideration before Tuesday.
  • If enacted, SB2880 would tighten enforcement against out-of-state abortion pill distributors and reflects growing legislative efforts to reinforce Texas’s abortion restrictions.
