His wife was devastated and she’s not the litigious sort, but you’ve given me an idea!

Considering the specious way the Texas GOP crafted the abortion law and basically gave standing to everybody to sue individuals for having a medical procedure that in no way affects them, they’ve opened the door allowing even the remotest level of connection to be considered “standing”. Now, seeing as how this man was not only my friend, but was also a business partner (drummer in my band), I’d say I have way more standing to sue Abbott than some anonymous tipster does!
