Texas abortion case threatens to make court orders practically worthless - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : The Supreme Court's decision in Oklahoma Operating Company v. Love is still the law, but the Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, and other conservatives are betting it won't be for long.
42% : Start with SB8, the law that lets anyone in Texas sue an abortion doctor or anyone "aiding or abetting" them for at least $10,000 per abortion.
42% : Jonathan Mitchell, the former Texas solicitor general, has argued that states have the authority to prosecute people for abortions that occurred when Roe was the law because the Supreme Court later overruled it.
40% : Abortion opponents in recent decades have prioritized the idea of criminal punishments for anyone who assists abortion, especially doctors.
38% : Given that pregnancy lasts only so long, even merely delaying a procedure for someone like Cox might stop an abortion from taking place at all -- never mind what the law says about exceptions.
