(9,981 posts)Those being sued will mostly be clinics like Planned Parenthood and their employees, especially the team doing the abortion. Every clinic should be on the alert for the anti-abortion wing nuts who will pose as a patient so they can gather information about what staff are saying to pregnant women for whom they can no longer provide an abortion. They cant even suggest going to another state or give them contact information for other states because that is aiding a woman.
All clinics should just announce that they are no longer doing abortions, only healthcare. That would take away legal abortions before six weeks, but thats already a much smaller number, and it takes away the excuse for lawsuits. The anti-abortion crowd would crow about such a result, but the fact that this law in effect stopped all abortion except for very extreme cases like a woman bleeding to death from an ectopic pregnancy might work against Republicans in future elections. A majority of Texas favor keeping Roe v. Wade.
