Texas Man Drops Lawsuit Against Ex-Wife's Friends Over Abortion Assistance

Marcus Silva's case against two women for aiding his ex-wife in obtaining abortion-inducing medication has been dismissed without any financial settlement.

Marcus Silva sued his ex-wife's friends, Jackie Noyola and Amy Carpenter, for $1 million each, claiming they helped her procure abortion pills.
The lawsuit, represented by anti-abortion lawyer Jonathan Mitchell, was the first of its kind following the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
Silva's ex-wife was not a party in the lawsuit but alleged that Silva used the case to harass and manipulate her.
Both sides agreed to drop their claims, and no financial compensation was exchanged, ending a legal battle that lasted 19 months.
Noyola and Carpenter expressed relief but criticized the lawsuit for attempting to intimidate those supporting abortion access.
