The subject of the law (reproductive rights) is only part of the issue. The implementation is also sets an extremely problematic precedent. They basically hacked a way around any sort of judicial review by turning the citizenry into bounty hunters.
Here's a good video about the subject: https://youtu.be/PnO7pL-QWyc https://youtu.be/PnO7pL-QWyc
- lettergram 5y ago> The implementation is also sets an extremely problematic precedent I'm pretty sure this is how the old policing system worked in the U.S. they would set bounties and citizens would bring people in. In this case, I'm 99% confident it'll be deemed constitutional and isn't really a problem. States can do what they want, it's extremely problematic that people in other states feel they should apply pressure on people thousands of miles away.
- maxerickson 5y agoYou are applying pressure just as much as anyone that argues against the Texas law, insisting that people should follow your preferences for how the government is organized rather than speaking their minds. It's incoherent.
- lettergram 5y ago> It's incoherent. I'm pointing out that you everyone should really be focused on local politics. And suggesting the bullies who disagree should leave Texans alone. This law does almost no damage and from the majority of Texas perspective it's a net positive. I don't see why anyone, especially Apple, should be applying pressure externally.
