The alleged offense falls under a Texas statute criminalizing abortion that was introduced after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
HOUSTON - A Houston lawyer faces charges of attempting to induce an abortion, an offense that falls under a Texas statute criminalizing abortion that was introduced this year.
Following the news of her pregnancy, Herring’s wife says he lectured her in March on staying hydrated and brought her water in bed. Within 30 minutes of drinking the water, she became very ill and went to the emergency room. At least six times over the course of a month, Herring’s wife says her husband brought her drinks that he encouraged her to drink. Suspicious, she did not drink them but instead kept them as evidence.
Surveillance cameras inside their home caught Herring putting a powdered substance from a bag in his pocket into a drink he gave his wife, according to prosecutors. The victim found opened blister packs that contained Cyrux, a Mexican pharmaceutical that contains the drug misoprostol in their trash.“She observed the defendant cleaned out his truck and took the trash out to the curb. She stated this was out of character for the defendant, as he does not do chores around the house.
