Texas family sues state officials over death linked to abortion ban

Politique

The relatives of Tierra Walker filed a civil lawsuit in Bexar County District Court alleging that Texas’s near-total abortion ban violates constitutional protections and contributed to her death from pre-eclampsia. The suit, which also names Attorney General Ken Paxton, the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and the Texas Medical Board, follows an earlier filing that claimed the denial of an abortion directly led to the fatal complications. Earlier reports said the family had sued the attorney general, doctors and state officials, asserting that the denied abortion was a factor in Walker’s death.
