Texas Man Sues Three Women for $1M for Helping His Ex-Wife Get an Abortion
I’m pro-life, not pro-choice, but this seems very strange. I’d wager that this guy was subjecting his ex wife to narcissistic abuse while they were married and that’s why she dumped him. Narcississts are notorious for loving to sue people.

A Texas man is suing his ex-wife’s three friends for $1 million after they helped her get an abortion as a text exchange reveals she was scared he’d ‘use it against her’ to keep her in the relationship.
Marcus Silva filed the lawsuit in Galveston and argues that a self-managed abortion is equivalent to murder under Texas law.
The lawsuit appears to break new ground in Texas with Silva alleging that he only recently learnt about the termination July last year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade – which allowed state abortion laws to take effect.
The lawsuit accuses three women with helping obtain abortion pills and convincing Silva’s then-wife to conceal their ‘murderous actions.’
It comes just days after five women sued the state of Texas after they were denied abortions despite the risk to their lives and their unborn children.
Jonathan Mitchell, a former state solicitor general who also helped create one of the state’s abortion bans, is representing Silva who is suing for wrongful death and conspiracy as well as state Rep. Briscoe Cain, a Deer Park Republican.
‘Anyone involved in distributing or manufacturing abortion pills will be sued into oblivion,’ Cain told the Houston Chronicle.
‘That includes CVS and Walgreens if their abortion pills find their way into our state.’
Wendy Davis a senior advisor to Planned Parenthood Texas Votes said she was ‘outraged’ but ‘not surprised’ by the litigation.
‘This lawsuit is a direct result of the dangerous policies championed by Gov. Greg Abbott and his supporters. It is state-sanctioned harassment, and we will not stand for it.’
Silva, who divorced his wife in February 2022 and has two other children with her, is not pursuing legal action against her.
The lawsuit cites a text exchange between the women and Silva’s ex-wife about Aid Access – an organization which send abortion pills through the mail.
According to the lawsuit the women said getting pills in the mail might be ‘murky’ and instead opted to find them in Houston – two of the friends offering their homes for the abortion.
The lawsuit includes screenshots of the text exchanges that also show the ex-wife worrying about Silva’s response to the abortion.
‘I know either way he will use it against me,’ she wrote, adding that he might use it as a reason to stay together or ‘to act like he has some right to the decision.’
The women also expressed concern about Silva in the text messages.
‘I just worry about your emotional state, and he’ll be able to snake his way into your head,’ one said.

Excerpts:
…Pro-life laws save unborn babies’ lives and protect mothers. Every abortion restriction includes clear exceptions that allow miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy care as well as abortions in the rare cases when a mother’s life is at risk. Many doctors, legal analyses and experts confirm this, but abortion activists’ lies persist and many doctors say it’s these lies, not the laws, that are putting women’s lives in danger.
…Every pro-life law allows life-saving medical care for mothers.
The Texas abortion ban, for example, permits abortions when “in the exercise of reasonable medical judgment, the pregnant female on whom the abortion is performed, induced, or attempted has a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy that places the female at risk of death or poses a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function unless the abortion is performed or induced.”
The law also states, “Medical treatment provided to the pregnant female by a licensed physician that results in the accidental or unintentional injury or death of the unborn child does not constitute a violation of this section.”
Doctors, including Planned Parenthood abortionists, also have confirmed that pro-life laws allow treatment for ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages and situations where the mother’s life is at risk.
