Hello Texas abortion law

• Spivak 4y ago
  That law is from a purely legal perspective, wild. It doesn’t at all matter the specific issue, this law grants standing for someone to sue who is not harmed nor even involved in an act [1]. This is genuine perversion of the law and we are going to regret not immediately closing this can of worms. This law literally allows the government to end run around all federal and constitutional protections including state constitutions. You could outlaw guns with this, eliminate interracial marriage, prevent women from voting, censor arbitrary speech. [1] I don’t want to say crime because it’s a civil suit. Texas could in theory pass a law like this about anything. This is a long way of saying that the Texas abortion law is a whole different league from ADA where you actually have to be harmed and prove it to sue.
