A Texas man from Brazos County has filed a legal petition seeking a court order to depose a woman he was dating who traveled to Colorado to get an abortion. The case, which has garnered attention due to its potential implications for abortion rights, revolves around the man's claim of pursuing wrongful-death claims related to the termination of his unborn child.
The man, Collin Davis, retained an attorney who sent a letter to the woman requesting preservation of all records related to her abortion plans. Davis argues that the deposition is necessary to determine if there was a violation of the Texas wrongful-death statute, which recognizes unborn children as individuals from fertilization until birth.
