I'm thinking we need to mess with Texas. They've gone too long not being messed with and now they've gone insane.

The commerce clause would like a word.
And I'm sure it was penned by some 105 year old dinosaur
What the fuck?
What a middle aged country is in some ways
The ordinance is part of a continued strategy by conservative activists to further restrict abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade as the ordinances are meant to bolster Texas' existing abortion ban, which allows private citizens to sue anyone who provides or "aids or abets" an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.
Hol’ up….
As dumb as both this and the “I can sue you because abortion!” thing are, this one cannot “bolster” the other because it specifically targets women.
In the original one, the woman obtaining the abortion cannot be targeted. It has to be a doctor, friend, clinic escort, Uber driver (yes, it’s fucking dumb ok), etc. but not the woman.
So this one kinda violates the other LOL
