Breaking! Texas Judge Fines New York Abortionist $100,000, Saves Thousands of Women and Babies

Austin, TX – February 14, 2025: Today, a Texas judge has fined and stopped by court order a New York abortionist who was illegally sending chemical abortion drugs to Texas women. The New York abortionist will have to pay a fine of $100,000 for violating the Human Life Protection Act, a law in Texas that protects the life of a pre-born baby from conception and criminalizes doctors who violate this law. According to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, this is the first case in the nation, where a state has successfully held abortionists accountable for violating Texas Law.

Jonathan Saenz, President & Attorney for Texas Values released the following statement:

“Texas has made it clear that we will protect innocent life and stop dangerous abortion drugs from killing both babies and moms. Today’s ruling makes this clear! Other states should respect Texas law and stop bringing illegal business across state lines. It is heartless and manipulative to send a woman drugs long distance, without any medical care or safety procedure when these drugs are known to cause hemorrhaging, excessive bleeding, and even death to at least one person.”

Texas Values was the leading organization in advocating for the Texas Heartbeat Law at the Texas Legislature and the No Mail Order Abortion Ban Law in 2021. To learn more about how Texas helps babies and mothers, visit LoveThemBothTexas.com.
