AUSTIN, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — The Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced he’s suing a reproductive and sexual telehealth clinic from Delaware for allegedly sending abortion pills to people in Texas, including El Paso.
The lawsuit alleges that nurse-practitioner Debra Lynch, who runs “Her Safe Harbor,” has violated Texas law by mailing mifepristone and misoprostol, medications, into cities such as Beaumont, Fulshear, Tomball, Houston, and El Paso, among others.
According to Planned Parenthood, those two medications are commonly called abortion pills because when taken together, produce an effect that is similar to having an early miscarriage.
“The day of reckoning for this radical out-of-state abortion drug trafficker is here,” Paxton said. “No one, regardless of where they live, will be freely allowed to aid in the murder of unborn children in Texas.”
In his announcement of the lawsuit, Paxton referenced two cases where he blamed “radical abortion activists and organizations” for making it easy for men to buy abortion pills illegally, adding that in one case a man used these pills to “poison his girlfriend,” triggering an abortion and sending the mother to the hospital.
Besides the lawsuit, in August of 2025, Paxton sent a cease-and-desist letter to Her Safe Harbor, Plan C and Coeytaux, ordering them stop promoting, selling, or facilitating the shipment of abortion pills to Texans.
