other way while moralistic Texas zealots overturned Roe v. Wade, have done something that their predecessors have ridiculed for decades: they have "exalted form over substance".
The misogynists who drafted the Texas bill produced a statute that substitutes the frenzied lynch-mob mentality of anti-choice extremists for the usual enforcement mechanisms of traditional statutes. And, by design, it APPEARS that it is not the state of Texas that is denying womens' rights; it is individuals. And, the transparent pretense that Texas could say "It ain't us, Your Honors!" was all that the five judicial whores who voted to allow this fiasco needed.
Everyone understands that Texas has intentionally taken action that has encouraged anti-choice zealots to do what the Constitution and decades of precedent would not allow: overruling Roe v. Wade. That is the "substance", but the transparent and arrogant pretense is the "form" and that was enough for what is now a SCOTUS that MUST be reformed!
