On the contrary, Texas in particular has gone out if its way to incentivize its citizens reporting other citizens for getting abortions. The law in that state creates an incentive for someone with the ability to do this, to do so.
What's special about the situation in Texas right now where humans at large will not follow the incentives placed in front of them for the first time in human history?

Indeed, even civil suits with their lower standard of evidence require more than a simple search history from data brokers.
- margalabargala 3y agoOf course the case would be thrown out. But would it be thrown out without me having to do anything, or would it cause me to spend time and possibly money dealing with it? Especially if I had an androgynous name, there's a very real chance that I would have to physically show up in a courtroom somewhere to point out that I do not have a uterus.
- Sponge5 3y agoCould you please specify the incentives you speak of? Are they material?
- ncallaway 3y agoTexas has created a private right of action to sue for damages of $10,000. That is, if I know my neighbor performed an abortion, I can personally sue them, and get $10,000 (plus attorneys fees). So, the answer to your question depends on if you define $10,000 as material or not.
