Texas is allowing total strangers standing to file suit against an abortion provider…

[quote][b] Senate Bill 8, which allows anyone to sue anyone who performs or aids in an abortion, marks an unprecedented change to who has standing to bring a lawsuit. The tactic is also an emerging trend in Republican-dominated states that may compromise constitutional rights, some legal experts said.[/b][/quote]

If a stranger’s suit prevents a woman from exercising her choice, [b]she[/b] should then be able to sue that person for prenatal costs and child support.

Or as Pop says, "if a stranger wants to put in his (or her) two cents, let them kick in a few hundred more to help take care of the child [b]they’re[/b] insisting be born."

Forgive my language, but this is fucked. I don't understand the purpose (I know politically) and I think a few Republicans were waiting for a crisis to orchestrate this nonsense. They want backstreet abortions again?

@thewindupbirdchronicles Based upon this and similar legislation, one would think so. That will be the result. Abortions will not stop—only the ones where women and girls survive.

@bijouxbroussard Yes, and that's very sad, tragic and resoundingly I find it immoral. We have more children in this world that are unwanted than the world can handle, so even on this level, societal, to me, it is wrong. My father made something of his life, in my finding, but I know it came with struggle and he was raised as a foster kid for many years. I don't understand the logic, I really don't, they can't even see the children feel unwanted?

Edited: cause I really wanted to point out it also has lasting impact on children
