Disgruntled Man Sues 2 Friends Who Help His Ex-Wife Get Abortion

Nearly 2 years ago, a disgruntled ex-husband tried to sue two women involved in his ex-wife's abortion; that absurd case has finally been dropped.

A Galveston man tried to sue his ex-wife's best friends for their involvement in an abortion. Marcus Silva demanded $1 million from Jackie Noyola and Amy Carpenter for their “murderous actions," as they helped his ex-wife get access to abortion pills.

Just as the case was about to go to trial, it was dropped. Although they re relieved the case is over, Noyola and Carpenter are still feeling the effects, "The reality is that you can Google our names and the word ‘murderer’ comes up for us, for supporting our friend … but we're still pretty angry that this whole thing was able to be brought forward to begin with," Carpenter admitted.

Silva’s ex-wife claims Silva was using the threat of a lawsuit as a way to get back together. She shared in a text message to her friends, "So now he’s saying if I don’t give him my ‘mind body, and soul’ until the end of the divorce which he’s going to drag out, he’s going to make sure I go to jail for getting the abortion.”

Before this entire ordeal, neither Carpenter nor Noyola had any type of involvement in abortion advocacy, however, this case has changed their outlook and inspired them. "The goal was to scare and to keep women quiet and I think for Jackie and I, it's done the complete opposite of that, if anything, it's made us more emboldened," Carpenter admitted.
