A Texas doctor reveals he performed an abortion in violation of the state’s new law that bans most abortions after 6 weeks of pregnancy, arguing he “had a duty of care to this patient” and she had a “fundamental right” to an abortion.
A imaging table inside the Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood in St. Louis, Missouri on May 28, 2019.A Texas doctor revealed on Saturday that he recently performed an abortion in violation of the state’s new law that bans most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, arguing he “had a duty of care to this patient” and she had a “fundamental right” to an abortion.
The law also prohibits state officials from enforcing the ban. Instead, it allows individuals to sue abortion providers or anyone who may have helped someone get an abortion after the limit and seek financial damages of at least $10,000 per defendant. However, Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, praised Braid, saying he “courageously stood up against this blatantly unconstitutional law.”
