Texas Man Shoots Girlfriend After Trip for Out-of-State Abortion

Harold Thompson fatally shot Gabriella Gonzalez, his girlfriend, upon her return to Dallas from traveling to Colorado to obtain an abortion.
Thompson did not want Gonzalez to have an abortion and is believed to have impregnated her.
Thompson had a history of assaulting Gonzalez and strangling her, and had an active domestic violence warrant for his arrest at the time of the shooting.
Abortion is banned in Texas after about six weeks of pregnancy, prompting Gonzalez to travel out of state to obtain the procedure.
The shooting highlights increased risks of intimate partner violence for women due to restrictive abortion laws that limit their reproductive rights and control over their own bodies.
