I believe Mrs. Greg Abbott had an abortion at 7 weeks gestation.

[BruceWane]

As well as *every* other Mrs. Republican Texas Lawmaker. EVERY ONE OF THEM.

They will all be sued, and they will all have to appear in court and defend themselves.

And if they prevail in court, they will have no right whatsoever to counter-sue for legal expenses.

This
Must
Happen.

[blm]

1. People are saying Greg Abbott's mistress had an abortion

to cover up their affair.

[Paladin]

16. Who was the father? (nt)

[dewsgirl]

2. These people are hypocrites if nothing else.

[Fiendish Thingy]

3. Only if the abortion occurred after 9/1/21 nt

[lagomorph777]

4. People are saying it happened at 12:01 AM.

I've heard...

[FBaggins]

5. I think she's 62

So that seems like it would be a difficult case to win.

[Foolacious]

6. The point is not to win the case.

The point is to file a vast number of suits that allege abortioneering of some kind or other. Every suit must be defended, else the claimant in each suit gets $10,000 (from the taxpayers, I guess)... and the claimant faces no penalty whatever for filing even the most frivolous claim.

[FBaggins]

7. Except that your assumptions are untrue

A negative defense that no abortion took place and that you haven't provided any reason to think that one did... costs almost nothing (certainly less than it will cost you). And it isn't true that there are no penalties for frivolous claims. There isn't a specific minimum (as there is with the $10k), but they absolutely can make the standard claim for you to pay their costs.

[Crepuscular]

10. Are you sure?

It appears that this Texas law specifically precludes the defendant seeking costs, if sued under this law.

There could be sanctions against an attorney bringing a frivolous lawsuit, tough, when there is absolutely no evidence supporting claims made in the suit.

8. +1

[housecat]

17. Must beat them at their own game

[Mr.Bill]

9. I know it, you know it,

and everybody knows it.

[rdking647]

11. i heard the same thing

i reported him
also the lt governor,both senators and the the attorney general

[greenman3610]

12. I'm sure it's true. it's all over Facebook.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. That is some powerful insight you have there

And after they testify, who would believe them? I mean "her emails", TFG "really won the election", Ivermectin cures COVID, and the COVID virus is a hoax anyway!

So two sides can play this truth telling game and can play it by the same rules!

[pnwmom]

14. The problem is that the WOMEN aren't sued under this law. The CLINICS are.

And the Uber drivers or whoever else helped them.

The point of this law is to shut down the clinics.

[MadLinguist]

15. maybe we could find some of those fake help centers whose object is to discourage abortions

and accuse them of secretly providing abortions. Win $10,000 bucks and donate it back to pro-choice organizations

[pnwmom]

20. That's an idea. But it wouldn't help keep the real clinics open, unfortunately. nt

[MadLinguist]

21. just to drain the bounty hunter pot, and to clog the wheels of this dystopian shyte

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. I have proof - I heard it on YouTube! - the abortions were performed at the Heritage Club offices

and the RNC of Texas offices and other places that Republicans own/frequent.

In fact, I heard there was a mass abortioning on the 50-yard line at the Dallas Cowboys stadium.

[Ilsa]

19. And stop the doctors from preforming them. nt

[JCMach1]

22. I heard a lot of Republican legislators in TX drove wives and daughters for abortions...

...so people are saying...
