A man is suing three women for wrongful death after they allegedly helped his ex-wife obtain abortion medication in a controversial case highlighting the challenges faced by individuals seeking reproductive healthcare.
Marcus Silva claims that assisting in a self-administered abortion is tantamount to aiding a murder and he is seeking $1million (£830,000) in damages, with a lawsuit filed in Galveston County, Texas, US.
The woman reportedly took the medication in July, weeks after the US Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which had established a constitutional right to abortion in 1973.
