A Texas doctor who wrote an op-ed claiming he violated the state's six-week abortion ban now faces a lawsuit brought against him under the ban

One lawsuit was filed Monday by Oscar Stilley, a former tax attorney in Arkansas who is serving a home confinement sentence for a federal conviction on tax crimes. He filed the lawsuit against the physician, Dr. Alan Braid, in Bexar County.

"I think the doctor has guts and he has principle and I decided that I would be the one to get some clarity on this law," Stilley said. Stilley, who was charged with several federal tax crimes in 2009 and was later convicted, said he was serving as his own lawyer in the case. This story has been updated with additional details.
