Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Texas has been home to one of the harshest criminal abortion bans in the country. Yet, there have been virtually no prosecutions under the ban, due in part to the territorial limits of state law, constraints on accomplice liability, and a legislative commitment not to prosecute pregnant persons for their abortions. This talk will consider the coordinated legal strategy of lawyers and advocates in Texas to use local government ordinances and civil litigation as sites for criminal law claiming, if not criminal lawmaking.
