Texas Abortion Law Puts Couple's Plans in Limbo, Sparking Relocation Consideration
Texas's new abortion law, Senate Bill 31, has sparked concern and potential relocation plans for Megan and Kevin Bond. The couple, who reside in the USA, may consider leaving the state due to the restrictive nature of the law, despite their deep affection for the state.
The law, passed in June 2025, resurrects a century-old abortion ban and has been condemned by the Browns, Megan's parents. They criticized the government's attempt to prevent people from seeking essential medical care outside the USA. Megan, who faced two pregnancies with fatal fetal anomalies, would have faced increased complications if the law had been in effect at the time.
Attorney General Ken Paxton has declared the 1925 ban '100 percent good law', potentially putting loved ones at risk of criminal charges for assisting women like Megan in seeking care outside the USA. The law criminalizes both performing an abortion and 'furnishing the means' for one, raising fears of prosecution for assistance in obtaining out-of-state abortions. Kevin Bond, Megan's husband, has stated that he would not be deterred by the law in helping his wife seek care, even if it put him at risk.
Megan and Kevin plan to try to get pregnant again, but may leave the USA if laws continue to worsen. They are not alone in their concern; the Browns have supported their daughter's decision to end the pregnancies and criticized the government's efforts to restrict access to essential medical care.
The USA's Senate Bill 31 has created a complex situation for Megan and Kevin Bond, who may consider leaving the state due to the restrictive abortion laws. The law has been condemned by the couple's family and has raised concerns about potential criminal prosecution for assisting in out-of-state abortions. Despite the challenges, the couple plans to try to expand their family, but may do so outside of the USA if the laws continue to worsen.
