9. I know next to nothing about law

But don’t you have to show “standing” (a concrete and physical injury, or a financial loss) to initiate a lawsuit? If I somehow hear that my neighbor told another woman where to send away for abortion medication, how do I have standing to sue if I was not physically harmed or lost any money because of the
actions of the defendant?
