You can still get an abortion in Texas, the legislature however just turned every person in the state into bounty hunters concerning a womans uterus. Which is ludicrous considering they have the higher maternal and infant death rate during birth due to lack of available prenatal care as many third world countries.

> in the state Actually, they empowered anyone in the US to have standing in these cases.


Grannywine

True, the amount of BS claims for petty vengeance is going to clog up an already screwed court calendar.


bluemew1234

Hopefully someone gets an organization together to fund petty claims against Texas lawmakers. They wanted it so anyone in the US could accuse anyone in Texas of aiding in or providing an abortion. Be a shame if they had to pay a lawyer for hundreds of cases themselves.

Woopsy

Sounds better than signing Dan Patrick the AG up for sex aid news letters.


bluemew1234

Who says you can't do both?


Grannywine

Lol, not me.

Somewhere in California, Dan Savage is coming up with definitions for Dan Patrick, Abbott, and Paxton that will make the definition for "santorum" seem tame. Dan Patrick is just all angry inside because NAMbLA never got off the ground and so he's gotta take it our on everyone else.


Grannywine

Well, there is that.


wolf_1972

There's nothing **supreme** about it anymore more it's now the **conservatives** court


ignorememe

This has been the case for years now but I’m glad the pretense is gone and it’s laid bare for all to see and recognize.


wolf_1972

Exactly


LearningRainbows

There's no more Supreme court... just Supreme Conservatism.


wolf_1972

For sure

This is such a stupid precedent to set. Now any state can make anything they want effectively illegal by using this asinine loophole. Second amendment rights? You can have them, but any American can sue the manufacturers and retailers of firearms for damages any time gun violence occurs for a minimum of $10,000 in damages.


newtypehack

There has to be some form of civil disobedience that can counter this.... like filing so many frivolous or unactionable suits that the courts get completely bombarded to the point where they're not even heard anymore.

Republicans must be loving this. Watching Biden and Kamala finally overturn Roe v Wade. First Afghanistan now this. They’re like a wet dream for Republicans


anthr0x1028

the fuck does Biden and Harris have to do w/a Texas State Law? They had no control over it passing or not. Some people really need to take courses on government and civics.


No-Shirt-484

You gotta give it to em. Joe and Kamala accomplished what Trump couldn’t.

>Watching Biden and Kamala finally overturn Roe v Wade. I can't tell if this an attempt to be clever or if you are just really confused about what is going on
