Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional.
This is the first suit of its kind.

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

From a journalist who's covered abortion for a decade: this is a HUGE deal. SBA Pro-Life America is the top political group in this space. It had so far refused to publicly embrace using the dormant Comstock Act to restrict abortion (like ADF, AUL, Students for Life). That reticence ended on Friday
NEW: Big escalation from top anti-abortion group, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. For the first time, SBA calls on Trump admin to enforce the Comstock Act—a 19th-century law conservatives hope to use to ban abortion pills nationwide, if not all abortions

![screenshot from a letter released on Friday, August 7, 2026. this is the second page
Not only does this language appear nowhere in the Comstock Act but, as a practical matter, a sender’s subjective intent and a recipient’s intended use are unknowable, making the Comstock Act a dead letter.
The plain text of the Comstock Act that Congress actually passed focuses instead on “article[s] or thing[s]” and whether they can be used for abortion. The OLC opinion’s title actually confirms
this: “Application of the Comstock Act to the Mailing of Prescription Drugs That Can Be Used for Abortions.” That is the sole focus of both the Comstock Act’s text and the purposes behind it.
Again, we thank you for pledging to evaluate whether the OLC opinion is consistent with the statute Congress actually passed and look forward to the result of your review.
