Washington (AFP) - For weeks, American nurse Lauren Jacobson has been supervising the daily dispatch of around fifty parcels of abortion pills -- mostly to states where it is illegal to terminate a pregnancy, such as Texas. For the 31-year-old, prescribing the drugs is "an active form of resistance." "People in Texas deserve the same basic human rights and access to health care as people in Connecticut," she told AFP.
