Re: the Texas abortion law...strategies on how to fight? [View all]
Yeah, I get why everybody is jumping up and down with their hair on fire about this, justifiably so.
But bottom line, we are where we are at and just saying fight harder isn't helping much. What are some concrete ideas on what can be done?
I was thinking any suit brought should be countered with a lawsuit alleging possession of stolen property. Your medical records belong to you and can only be accessed by the people you deem appropriate and only for the uses you identify (HIPAA). Anybody bringing such a suit would have to identify how they legally obtained such information. This law also does not in anyway circumvent Roe Vs Wade's determination of a constitutional right to privacy. Bringing such an action in a court of law clearly would violate that. It seems conspiracy charges for accepting such obviously stolen info for the purposes of personal financial gain while violating a constitutional right to privacy would be an easy case to bring, both in Civil and criminal courts. Such legal liability would easily be greater than the 10,000 buck payout people think they would get.
Any thoughts on this idea or any others that could be used to hit back at these assholes?
