As antiabortion advocates launch legal efforts to stop abortion pills from reaching women in states with bans, they are increasingly turning to one group with uniquely intimate and specific information to help them find cases: male sex partners of women who decided to end their pregnancies.

The strategy propelled a first-of-its-kind lawsuit filed last month by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton that cited first-hand information from an unnamed “biological father” to accuse a New York doctor of illegally providing abortion pills to a woman in the Dallas area, according to two people familiar with the case’s origins.

The case was inspired by a report Paxton’s office received from the man and emerged as part of a broader abortion law enforcement operation the attorney general has quietly created that includes searching for potential plaintiffs, said the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.

This partner-focused approach will shift to a more public phase next month when Texas’s largest antiabortion organization launches an advertising campaign on Facebook and X to reach the husbands, boyfriends and sex partners of women who have had abortions in the state — with the goal of recruiting them to file lawsuits against those who assisted the women in ending their pregnancies.

3. Maybe men who rat out their wives and girlfriends can get a free Tesla and cash.

In China during the One Child Policy, people who squealed on pregnant friends, neighbors and co-workers
got better jobs and apartments.

4. Well, that's certainly going to improve romantic/marital relationships.

If you can't quite bring yourself to beat up your wife or girlfriend or if you're afraid she'll hit you back, at least you can rat her out to Ken Paxton.

5. All women in red states need to quit having sex. With men, anyway. That's the only way you're going to get

pregnant. Pregnancy can now kill you. Treat sex with a man like it's an overdose of a deadly drug. Pretty soon there will be changes to the laws, and we can go about enjoying life like we used to before trump fucked up the supreme court.

7. What we need is a nation of Amazons.

Not the Bozos kind. A real all-women nation.

6. Mind your own damn business. paxton!

8. Sick, tyrannical and abusive. Pathological.

9. If the five guys in that picture got neutered, they wouldn't have to worry about their partners getting an abortion.

10. Why don't they start with their Dear Leader?

It's common knowledge Donnie has paid his mistresses for abortions in the past...
