Texas wants to get cute with the law, fine. Let's play:
The Texas enforcement mechanism has citizens suing abortion providers, but *qualified immunity* protects government officials from being sued for carrying out official functions. SO...
Joe Biden has to do is establish, by executive order, federal "privacy protectors" who are ordered to provide constitutionally protected services in Texas. Like the vaccine distribution BUT FOR ABORTION.
These people couldn't be sued b/c of Qualified Immunity
PROBLEM SOLVED, YOU'RE WELCOME
Oh... you get around the Hyde Amendment by making abortions free, of course. And only paying the *privacy protectors* for their counselling services. Any medical procedure they'd have to do out of their own pocket... which I'm *sure* we could privately fund.
