Some North Texas pastors say the state's new abortion laws are infringing upon their rights to exercise religion freely.
Baughman and three other area pastors sent Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton a warning letter that they may file a lawsuit in 60 days. Pastor Baughman says their church doesn't condone using abortion as a means of birth control or late-term abortions, except when the mother's life is in danger or cases of severe fetal abnormalities incompatible with life."This is a matter of considering life vs. life decisions for women."
Baughman says,"Under SB 8, I could be civilly prosecuted for counseling and recommending appropriate actions where it is appropriate for women to pursue an abortion."
