“Chemical Abortion Pill pushers willfully break Texas’ laws designed to protect the vulnerable. This Students for Life-inspired measure follows our ‘Make America Pro-Life Again Roadmap,’ detailing a legal path forward in opposition to the number one method and means of abortion in America – Chemical Abortion Pills,” said Students for Life Action’s Kristan Hawkins. “The ‘Women and Child Protection Act’ will put sex abusers and their friends in the abortion business on notice, letting them know that Texas will fight to protect preborn babies and their mothers.”

AUSTIN, TX (05-23-2025) – Students for Life Action (SFLAction) President Kristan Hawkins celebrated the 8 to 5 vote in the Texas House State Affairs Committee, as members moved the Anti-Chemical Abortion Pill Trafficking bill forward to the House floor. The Texas State Senate, passed the measure April 30. “Right now, Chemical Abortion Pill pushers make a profit as a friend of sex abusers, without any concern for what happens to the women who take the deadly pills. TX Senate Bill 2880, known as the Women and Child Protection Act, represents a real deterrent to those who think they can avoid consequences for their deadly pill pushing. The Pro-Life Generation thanks State Sen. Bryan Hughes and Rep. Jeff Leach for their leadership in getting the bills to where they are today, and we call on the Texas House Calendars Committee to send the bill to the House floor right away, and for House Speaker Speaker Dustin Burrows to finish the job they started in the Texas State Senate.”
The protections are all the more important in light of a new study of adverse side effects for those exposed to Chemical Abortion Pills.
As we reported earlier: “A new study out from the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), titled “The Abortion Pill Harms Women,” finds that it’s much more dangerous than the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) admits. Two new truths are now available to address old lies. Most importantly, we now know this: ‘Serious adverse events from mifepristone are approximately 22 times more frequent’ than the FDA reports, which means that more than 1 in 10 patients will ‘experience at least one serious adverse event.’”
On April 25, the House version of the Women and Child Protection Act was heard in the Texas House State Affairs Committee, where Students for Life of America’s Kristi Hamrick delivered testimony in support of the bill.
“We know that these pills expose women to injury, infertility, and death, and this reckless model empowers abusers,” Hamrick argued.
Hamrick highlighted the devastating consequences of policies that permit the widespread distribution of Chemical Abortion Pills with little to no oversight. “Chemical Abortion Pills expose women to injury, infertility, and death, through the reckless policies set up by three Democratic Party Administrations.”
Reckless distribution of Chemical Abortion Pills also empowers abusers to administer the drugs without a woman’s knowledge or consent, Hamrick noted. She pointed to a tragic example, where courts revealed that “State Sen. Thomas Pressly’s sister, Catherine Herring of Houston, was exposed to the drugs.”
In addition to being easily administered by abusers, these Chemical Abortion Pills raise serious environmental concerns. When used at home, the process can result in chemically tainted blood, placental tissue, and human remains being flushed into the water system, posing a threat to public health and environmental safety.
Gen Z and Gen Y registered voters overwhelmingly support protections like those in this legislation, according to a SFLA and Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement YouGov/SurveyUSApoll released in January. By margins of 9 in 10 or more, young voters favor environmental safeguards and health and safety standards for Chemical Abortion Pills.
If enacted, the Texas bills would prohibit Online, No Test Chemical Abortion Pill traffickers from distributing these dangerous Chemical Abortion Pills, and it would also allow civil action against those who engage in pill trafficking.
ALSO IN TEXAS: SFLAction supports Texas Senate Bill 1976 as well as Texas House Bill 3734, both of which call for regular testing of Texas’ water to check for the levels of Chemical Abortion Pill water pollution.
