A Texas woman has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against Aid Access, one of the largest providers of abortion pills by mail in the United States, and against a former romantic partner who she says covertly ended her pregnancy. According to the complaint, the man ordered abortion medication from Aid Access, dissolved the tablets in a cup of hot chocolate and gave it to the plaintiff without her knowledge when she was eight weeks pregnant. The woman alleges the undisclosed dose terminated the pregnancy and caused physical and emotional harm. The suit contends Aid Access failed to verify that the prescription was intended for use by the person who would ingest the drugs, and that it did not put sufficient safeguards in place to prevent third-party orders. The plaintiff accuses her ex-partner of assault, battery and the wrongful death of her unborn daughter. Although the filing does not specify damages sought, the case could test the reach of Texas’ civil liability provisions on abortion and add legal pressure on telemedicine suppliers that continue to ship pills into states with strict abortion bans.
