Texas Abortion Lawsuit Dropped: Libs Rejoice, Conservatives Keep Fighting

In a hilarious twist of events, a Texas man who sued his ex-wife's gal pals for aiding in her abortion has dropped the lawsuit just days before the trial. Marcus Silva, a Galveston County resident, had conservatives cheering and libs seething when he filed the wrongful death suit back in March.

Silva alleged that the trio of friends helped his then-wife, Brittni, obtain abortion pills illegally, resulting in the demise of "baby Silva." The abortion took place in July 2022, just before Texas' "trigger law" went into effect, but Silva argued that the women violated a state law barring non-physicians from administering abortion pills.

Anti-abortion rockstar lawyer Jonathan Mitchell and state Rep. Briscoe Cain (R-Deer Park) filed the original complaint on Silva's behalf. The defendants, however, painted Silva as a "serial emotional abuser" and accused him of using the abortion as blackmail.

In a laughable attempt at playing detective, Silva told police he found a metformin pill in Brittni's purse after snooping through her things. But as the defendants' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, pointed out, Silva wasn't trying to stop the abortion – he was gathering evidence to keep Brittni under his thumb.

Both parties filed notices late Thursday night asking the judge to dismiss the case, with each side agreeing to pay their own attorney's fees. The request for dismissal came after Republican state District Judge Lonnie Cox denied Mitchell's motion to delay the trial, which was set to begin Monday.

Despite this setback, conservatives shouldn't fret – the fight against abortion is far from over. Pregnant Texans who obtain abortions still can't be prosecuted or sued, but their accomplices can face the music. The American-Statesman reached out to Mitchell and Hardin for comment but hasn't heard back yet.

Stay tuned for more updates on the never-ending battle between common sense and lib logic!
