DALLAS (AP) — A San Antonio doctor who said he performed an abortion in defiance a new Texas law has all but dared supporters of the near-total ban on abortion to try making an early example of him and file a lawsuit. That’s the only way the restrictions can be enforced. The state’s largest anti-abortion group has said they’re looking into the matter. Dr. Alan Braid in a Washington Post opinion column over the weekend became the first Texas abortion provider to publicly reveal he violated the law that took effect on Sept. 1.
