Texas AG Ken Paxton Sues to Stop Abortion Pills From Flooding the State

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit Tuesday against an international network that ships abortion drugs into Texas cities including Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, El Paso, and others.

Paxton’s office describes the practice as open defiance of state pro-life laws.

The suit, yesterday, targets Aid Access GmbH and Aid Access B.V. (collectively “Aid Access”), along with illegal abortion pill sellers Remy Coeytaux and Rebecca Gomperts. These defendants operate an abortion-by-mail enterprise that illegally distributes the drugs, according to the Texas Attorney General’s Office.

Aid Access advertises on its website that it sells dangerous and illegal abortion pills to all 50 U.S. states, including Texas, and ships abortion-inducing drugs to residents in major Texas cities or “anywhere else in the State of Texas.”

The organization claims to have facilitated more than 200,000 abortions nationwide since 2018, with each abortion pill killing a living human baby before birth.

“Every unborn child is a life worth protecting, and Texas law reflects that fundamental truth. Radicals sending abortion-inducing drugs into our state will be held accountable for ending innocent life,” Paxton said in a statement. “My office will defend the lives of the unborn and relentlessly enforce our state’s pro-life laws against Aid Access and other radicals like it.”

The lawsuit highlights real-world consequences of such shipments.

In 2025, a man in Nueces County allegedly used abortion-inducing drugs obtained from an out-of-state seller to secretly poison his girlfriend, resulting in the death of their unborn child.

Paxton’s action is part of a series of enforcement efforts to block out-of-state sellers from distributing chemical abortion drugs—typically mifepristone and misoprostol—into Texas, where abortions are banned except in limited medical emergencies. The state has previously sued other abortion pill sellers, including a Delaware-based nurse practitioner in January 2026 and others for similar violations.

Texas law prohibits unauthorized mailing or telemedicine distribution of abortion drugs, aiming to protect both unborn children and women from risks associated with unsupervised use.

The suit seeks to halt these shipments and hold the defendants accountable under Texas’ pro-life statutes. It follows Paxton’s ongoing efforts to enforce protections for unborn life amid national debates over medication abortion access.
