Texas Woman Sues Anti-Abortion Activists for Ordering Pills

Maria Puerto filed a lawsuit against four anti-abortion activists for illegally ordering abortion pills.
The activists, including Kristan Mercer Hawkins, allegedly ordered the pills as part of a publicity stunt.
Puerto seeks nearly $460,000, reflecting the cost of raising children in Texas, under the state's abortion law.
The law allows citizens to sue those who provide abortion pills, exempting women who are pregnant.
