Eight pro-life activists in Texas are suing pro-abortion groups to protect themselves from lawsuits they claim the groups filed to chill their constitutionally protected free speech rights.
“These filings were prompted by aggressive attacks by abortion promoters in Texas: Afiya Center, Texas Equal Access Fund, and Lilith Fund for Reproductive Equity,” said lawyer Erick Kaardal of Thomas More Society, a Chicago-based public-interest law firm specializing in religious freedom issues.
