Texas lawyer Mason Herring allegedly slipped wife abortion-inducing drug

A Houston lawyer faces felony charges for allegedly slipping abortion-inducing drugs into his separated wife’s drinks after learning about her third pregnancy — which he told her “would ruin …

"Her daughter was born in August, three months after the arrest, and Herring dedicated much of her time to caring for her. The girl was born 10 weeks premature, weighing just over three pounds—so small that Herring was not allowed to hold her—and spent seven weeks in the NICU. She still uses a feeding tube to eat and has weekly appointments with physical, occupational, and speech therapists. “She is a special needs child,” Herring said. “Every day is a struggle for her. This impacts us on a daily basis, even now.”"

"Herring, who filed for divorce shortly after the arrest, assailed the court in a blistering victim impact statement that was picked up by news outlets across the country. “I do not believe that 180 days is justice for attempting to kill your child seven separate times,” she said,"

"In an interview this week, Herring was just as angry. “One hundred and eighty days—it’s less than 26 days per attempt that he will serve in jail,” she said. She was reluctant to discuss the abortion politics of the decision—the topic “can be really polarizing,” she said—but when asked about the discrepancy between what a doctor in Texas could serve for performing a wanted abortion and what her ex is serving for attempting to force one on her, she did not hold back.

“It’s very apparent that the state of Texas is treating men and women differently in this situation,” she said.

“I think the impactful conversation that’s coming out of all this is that we all universally think this assault and this situation is wrong,” she added. “And it’s just silence from the state. Silence.”"

"Catherine Herring told authorities her husband in March 2022 began lecturing her on hydration and offering water. She said she became severely ill after drinking from the first cup that appeared cloudy, which her husband explained was perhaps the result of the cup or water pipes being dirty.

Catherine Herring became suspicious and began refusing multiple other drinks her husband offered. She later found in the trash packaging for a drug that contained misoprostol, a medicine used to induce abortion.

She also gave police videos from hidden cameras she installed at her home where her husband was no longer living. One of them showed him mixing a substance in one of her drinks, Catherine Herring said."

It's the hypocrisy that disgusts me.

Why is the law not being enforced equally on everyone?

Why does this man get away with this?
