Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a notice to withdrawal from a controversial case where a surrogate for a California couple fled to Texas to avoid an abortion.

An Alaskan surrogate has traveled to Texas for legal protection after a California couple has refused treatment for a severe heart condition.

The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the abortion pill mifepristone can continue to be prescribed online or over the phone and sent through the mail.

Full access to the abortion pill mifepristone, including through telemedicine and the mail, will continue for at least three more days, the high court said on Monday.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that mifepristone must be obtained in person, a decision the country’s highest court has temporarily blocked.

The flight attendant, who sued the airline and workers union in 2017, already received nearly $500,000 in damages last week after she was fired for sending anti-abortion pictures to a union leader.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing more out-of-state providers for allegedly shipping abortion medication into Texas. Paxton’s office announced the new lawsuit today Tuesday.

The lawsuit alleges that Debra Lynch violated Texas law by sending the medications mifepristone and misoprostol into the state.

The case centers on the Texas Heartbeat Act, a 2021 law that bans abortions after cardiac activity is detected and lets private citizens enforce the ban through lawsuits.

The court may decide whether a particular challenge to Texas' Senate Bill 8, also known as the Texas Heartbeat Act, has a path forward.
