if it would be a real possibility or just a futile hope.

What if pro choice states pass counter suing laws, so that anyone in a pro choice state can sue anyone in an anti choice state who bring suits against women who get abortions in the pro choice state?

So, if Jane Doe, a resident of Texas or Missouri, goes out of state for an abortion, and anti choice people in Missouri or Texas bring a suit against her, then residents of the state where she got her abortion can sue the people of Missouri or Texas who sue Jane Doe.
