WaPo: “As antiabortion advocates launch legal efforts to stop abortion pills from reaching women in states with bans, they are increasingly turning to one group with uniquely intimate and specific informationto help them find cases: male sex partners of women who decided to end their pregnancies.
The strategy propelled a first-of-its-kind lawsuit filed last month by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton that cited firsthand information from an unnamed “biological father” to accuse a New York doctor of illegally providingabortion pills to a woman in the Dallas area, according to two people familiar with the case’s origins.
The case was inspired by a report Paxton’s office received from the man and emerged as part of a broader abortion law enforcement operation the attorney general has quietly created that includes searching for potential plaintiffs, said the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.”
