The family of a Texas woman who died from pregnancy complications after being denied an abortion is suing Attorney General Ken Paxton for his enforcement of the Lone Star State’s restrictions on abortions.
Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother to a teenage son, died of preeclampsia at roughly 20 weeks pregnant in late 2024. Her family argues her death was preventable if she had been given an abortion when her symptoms first began, despite Texas’s prohibition on the procedure.
