Before RvW was overturned, Texas passed a law that lets anyone sue anyone who aids and abets an abortion: the doctor who performs an abortion, an insurance company that helps pay for the procedure, an uber driver who just happens to be driving you there, someone who lets you know what options you have available to you, etc.
Some states are just taking a scorched earth approach here, and nothing would surprise me about what they will try to do to punish anyone who is even tangentially involved in the process...
- corrral 4y agoWhat I think is under-appreciated is that this is going to harm a lot of non-abortion healthcare. I can personally vouch for the fact that hospitals in my red state were excessively timid about providing necessary or beneficial care that looked too abortion-like—with Roe-v-Wade compliant state restrictions on abortion in place. It's a safe bet that'll be even worse now.
