So, the new law signed in Texas will ban abortion before 6 weeks, typical tradcon policy, nothing particularly exciting.
The exciting part is this - the law won't be enforced by the state, but instead puts legal liability on the providers of such services to be sued by literally anyone, regardless of their residency.
[Surprisingly, it's the BBC that has the least biased explanation of how exactly this will work.] (https://archive.is/AZJlN)
Unlike in other states, the Texas law does not let state officials enforce the ban. Anyone inside or outside the state instead now has the power to sue abortion providers - or anyone who could have helped a person to get the procedure - after the limit. They can seek up to $10,000 (£7,061) in damages per defendant.
The Texas Tribune reports that supporters of the bill hope this novel provision will trip up legal challenges to the legislation, as without state officials enforcing the ban, there will be nobody for pro-women's rights groups to sue.
This change from the usual tactics completely shuts down the traditional feminist tactic of overturning whatever annoys them through court cases backed by dirty money funds from the likes of the ACLU and the Melinda Gates Foundation. That would only exonerate each individual doctor, it wouldn't overturn the law. They'd be burning through cash until they run out trying to fight this by acquitting everyone.
If this works, it needs to be used against every single facet of female privilege, bankrupt their legal machine and end their tyranny.
The Future Isn't Female, if we use our power to stop it.
Okay, but who will sue the doctor or even know of an individual gets an abortion after 6 weeks? Or, are those records public?
Edit: by the way, 6 weeks sounds like enough time to me. C'mon, ladies. Toy should know whether someone spray painted your cervical walls with baby batter or not. That should be something you're at least mildly aware of and can keep track of.
If you post about it on Instagram and Snapchat it is. Remember, abortion selfies are a thing.
"The grieving dad who wanted a family" is one possibility.
6 weeks is before they know the gender, that's why they protest so much. Feminists use abortion to make sure they have girls.
Thanks for giving attention to this.
I've been out of the weeds, and seeing all these headlines about the Right using the same tactics as the Left made me disillusioned. Titles such as "Governor forces schools to open" or "Governor bans mask mandates in stores", if taken at face values, just create problems down the line.
You need to give people the ability to make right or wrong decisions, so that they suffer alone and don't drag others down with them. Being correct is no excuse to be authoritarian.
Interesting twist. Would courts actually think any 3rd party has "standing" to bring these cases?
There is precedent, which is sacrosanct for courts.
Title IX "abuses" can be sued and reported from anywhere in America against anywhere in America, by anyone. There's a well-known middle-aged MRA who has sued dozens, if not hundreds, of universities and colleges over their favoritism of women in their policies. And won most of the cases. But he's some middle-aged man in one state, not a prospective student, not in the school, not even in the market to be in a school in the future, and nowhere near most of the schools in question.
He has zero "standing", but because of the way the law was worded, literally everyone everywhere at all times has more or less a "deemed" "standing". If that concept is used as precedent in this... The result is more likely than you'd think.
Presumably, yes. And even if not, she could just identify as male for the duration of the court appearance, anyways.
Damages are $10k.
It probably won't, but it'll be one more way to try and fight their cult.

I remember when the stories of China doing this to up the number of boys born under the one child rule in the 70s came out, fems were outraged.
I think it was the 70s anyway.
As a general rule, nothing angers feminists more than being subjected to their own tactics.
Abortion as birth control is Satanic.
Also wouldn't that basically count as eugenics? I'm with you 100% on this one.
