A 26-year-old woman from Texas was shot and killed by her boyfriend after getting an abortion in another state, Dallas police said. He was jailed on a murder charge as of Friday.
Texas banned abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy in September 2021. But nearly all abortions have been halted in Texas since Roe v. Wade was overturned last summer, except in cases of medical emergency.
“It is believed that the suspect was the father of the child,” the affidavit said. “The suspect did not want to get an abortion.” Thompson was arrested later Wednesday and is being held in the Dallas County Jail without bond. Court records did not list an attorney who could speak on his behalf. At the time of the shooting, Thompson had been charged with assault of a family member, who accused him of choking her in March.
