SB 2880 would make it a felony to pay for abortion costs and allow private citizens to sue pill distributors, prescribers and payment platforms.

The Texas Senate passed multiple pieces of legislation this week that would give reproductive care providers more clarity for when a doctor can legally perform an abortion to save a mother's life, and also legislation that would allow Texas residents to sue abortion pill manufacturers and anyone who delivers to product to the state.

The bill gives the state new tools to try to stop the flow of abortion pills, but critics say it's legally dubious on several fronts.
