Republicans in the Texas state legislature are proposing myriad anti-abortion and anti-reproductive rights bills, including at least three that target access to abortion medication.

The bills come just one month after state Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) filed a lawsuit against a New York doctor in December for sending abortion medication to a woman living in Texas.

The state already bans almost all forms of abortion. But shield laws, as well as access to telehealth services, allowed around 2,800 people in Texas per month to have an abortion through medication from April to June of last year.

Abortion medication is by far the most common method for having an abortion in the U.S., with usage of abortion pills increasing since the coronavirus pandemic and after the Supreme Court upended federal abortion rights in 2022.

House Bill 1339 would reclassify abortion pills as “controlled substances,” implementing greater legal restrictions on them, including harsher punishments for those found in possession of, distributing or seeking such medication. The proposal is similar to a law that passed in neighboring Louisiana last year.
