Anti-Abortion Members of Congress Threaten Major Law Firm with Criminal Prosecution

Eleven members of the Texas State Legislature have fired off a letter to Sidley Austin, one of the largest law firms in the U.S., threatening the firm and its lawyers with criminal prosecution and disbarment if they in any way facilitate abortions, even in other states.
The letter, sent to the Chair of the firm’s management committee and obtained by TMZ, states the Texas Freedom Caucus — run by the 11 Texas Republican representatives — has become aware Sidley Austin is “reimbursing travel costs of employees who leave Texas to murder their unborn children.” The Caucus also accuses the firm of complicity in performing illegal abortions.
Rep. Mayes Middleton, the Chair of the Caucus who signed the letter, warns Sidley Austin abortion is a felony in Texas unless the mother’s life is in danger. Middleton notes the law covers “drug-induced abortions if any part of the drug regimen is ingested in Texas, even if the drugs were dispensed by an out-of-state abortionist.”
Middleton threatens, if Sidley Austin violates the law, the firm and all of the partners will be subject to criminal prosecution and disbarment.
And maybe the most ominous … the letter says Sidley “may have aided or abetted drug-induced abortions in violation of the Texas Heartbeat Act, by paying for abortions (or abortion-related travel) in which the patient ingested the second drug in Texas after receiving the drugs from an out-of-state provider.” The letter goes on to say there is litigation underway to uncover the identity of the lawyers who did this. The letter demands Sidley preserve all documents related to any lawyer who basically helped any woman get an abortion after Sept. 1, 2021 — the date the Texas Heartbeat Act was enacted.
The letter goes on to warn the law firm and its 2,000 lawyers … there will be new legislation in the next session of the Texas State Legislature that will specifically target law firms that pay for abortion or abortion-related travel.
The legislation would also give private citizens the right to sue anyone who pays for an elective abortion performed on a Texas resident … whether they pay directly or reimburse. It will also incentivize citizens who bring these lawsuits with a $10,000 bounty if they prevail.
There’s more … the new legislation would require the Texas State Bar to disbar any attorney who violates the anti-abortion law. And, if the State Bar refuses to act, then members of the public can sue the State Bar and get a judge to require the Bar to disbar the offending lawyer.
And in case there are any D.A.’s who won’t enforce the law … the proposed legislation would give any D.A. in the State the right to prosecute even outside their jurisdiction.
We attempted to contact Sidley Austin for comment but were unable to reach them.

Jodi Benson‘s looks over the years are out of this world!
Watch and you’ll see … a 38-year-old version of the first ‘Little Mermaid’ looking absolutely fin-tastic at the premiere of “The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea” in Hollywood, California back in 2000 (left). This was over a decade after the release of the original Disney classic film.
And, 23 years later, the stunning actress recently ran a dinglehopper through her hair and hit the premiere for the live-action, “The Little Mermaid,” where she looked like no time had gone by (right).
Jodi has shined like a trove full of whozits and whatzits for decades, but the question is …

Hulk Hogan Says Billy Graham Shaped His Career, I Wanted To Be Like Him!

Hulk Hogan will never forget the impact pro wrestling legend Billy Graham had on his life, saying Graham’s influence on his career is one of the main reasons he became one of the greatest icons in WWE history!
Hogan reflected on his relationship with Billy after the 79-year-old wrestling legend died last week, recalling how he would take his father to watch Billy’s matches … and was captivated by BG’s larger-than-life personality on the microphone and stellar physique.
“I want to be just like him,” Hulk used to tell his dad, referring to Graham, as he watched in awe whenever “Superstar” would flex his biceps at events.
Hogan says he modeled his career after Graham, a former WWE Champion, and WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, aka “The American Dream.”
“I stole a little bit from each of them,” Hogan told Babcock on the “TMZ Sports” TV show (airs weekdays on FS1).
Hogan said he and Billy became good friends over the years and shared a full circle moment … telling a story of how Graham came to watch him in the main event at Madison Square Garden after years of watching Billy headline shows.
“We just bonded and just got along great,” Hogan said.
One of Hogan’s career highlights was when he joined forces with Graham, a moment The Hulkster appreciates all these years later when he reflects on his wrestling legacy.
“When we were in Atlanta working for Ted Turner,” Hogan said. “They teamed us up. We looked like brothers. He was in prime shape. I was in prime shape. We had the same balding hairline. It was amazing.”

Jimmie Allen Selling Nashville Pad After Divorce, Rape Lawsuit

Jimmie Allen is officially pulling up stakes in Nashville … putting his house up for sale on the heels of his divorce, and the bombshell rape allegation against him.
According to property records the country star is selling his home in Brentwood — a Nashville suburb — for $2.5 million. He originally listed it last month for just under $3M, before slashing the price this week.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Of course, Jimmie’s been in pretty hot water lately. As we reported, his estranged wife Alexis Gale, who’s pregnant with their third child, pulled the plug on their marriage — and then his former business manager sued him for allegedly raping her.
Jimmie told us there’s “no truth” to the allegation, and accused her of trying to squeeze him for money after their 2-year consensual relationship ended. He’s publicly apologized to his estranged wife for the affair, and for being a poor example for their children.
On the heels of all that, he’s lost biz deals, too, such as his collab with The Frozen Farmer ice cream company.
Now, he’s hoping for some good news on the real estate front as he unloads the 5-bed, 5-bath home … which sits on 1.5 acres with lots of great features.
Jimmie and Alexis got married during a secret wedding in 2020, and he bought the home in December of that same year for $1.5M.
Nicholas Lane Woodward of Benchmark Realty holds the listing … and no, the singer won’t be leaving any of his baggage inside.
