Roe v Wade is on deck

I really wish this guy was still alive. Although the trump admin would probably make his head explode.

He was utterly excellent!

Texas takes it to the next level.

Texas is poised to allow anyone to sue doctors and distributors of abortion pills involved in sending the drugs into the state under sweeping new legislation that is headed to the governor’s desk.

The bill, backed by antiabortion activists and passed in the state Senate on Wednesday, allows private citizens to sue companies and individuals who manufacture or distribute abortion pills to patients in Texas. Winning plaintiffs would get a minimum of $100,000 in damages.

Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is expected to sign the legislation into law. Abbott included the bill on the agenda for the state’s two special sessions this summer, which have been largely dedicated to redistricting and the July floods.

Texas has been exploiting any opening in the law they can create. And now, they target the pharma industry. All they need to do is get a small group of people to sue the Pharma industry and say one thing got shipped to Texas. Heck, they can order it themselves probably. The good news is, this isn't enforceable as it crosses state lines. The bad news is, they are trying to create a rule that SCOTUS will back.
