Oppose HB 5510!
Since 2021, Texas' total abortion ban has had devastating effects, including an increase in maternal and infant mortality and a worsened maternal healthcare crisis. Despite this, Texans are still finding ways to access abortion care with the help of to out-of-state doctors, online abortion pill providers and abortion funds, which aid Texans with costs for out-of-state abortions. Instead of addressing the harm caused by their abortion ban, HB 5510 seeks to worsen an already dire landscape, to the detriment of our state's healthcare system and the right to travel. HB 5510 targets online abortion pill providers. It also would allow wrongful death lawsuits after an abortion and empower the attorney general’s office to pursue civil suits over violations of any "criminal abortion law", including the 1925 pre-Roe ban, for damages.
HB 5510 relies in large part on allowing private citizens to sue over violations of the law– the same legal framework that Texas used to ban nearly all abortions in 2021.Multiple pregnant women have lost their lives due to the abortion ban on the books. Countless more Texans and their families have been traumatized and maimed because they could not access critical abortion care: HB 5510 does not just endorse this cruelty– it expands it.
