Women in Texas are facing a sickening new reality.

A bill signed into law in May that went into effect Wednesday offers a $10,000 or more bounty for suing a doctor or anyone who helps to perform or procure an abortion at six weeks gestation or later.

Drive your daughter to an abortion, get sued. Pay for your wife to get an abortion, get sued. Work for an abortion doctor, get sued.
