People who file these lawsuits should be identified as a public service - with all available personal information.
Their privacy must be destroyed.
Let them feel the wrath of the people
When they go low, we kick them in the face
If they win, plaintiffs can recover at least $10,000 for each abortion prohibited under the law. The money damages could well run higher if a lawsuit has many defendants in the case, one observer noted.
The defendant whether a provider, funder, clergyperson, friend or family member pays the damages which are set at a minimum of $10,000. If there are several defendants, they each pay $10,000 in damages, Elizabeth Sepper, a professor specializing in health law and religious liberty at the University of Texas at Austins School of Law.
So a single abortion could generate tens of thousands of dollars for the bounty hunter plaintiffs delegated enforcement of this law, she told MarketWatch.
If a plaintiff wins, the defendants and any lawyer who dares represent them are on the hook for the plaintiffs legal fees, Sepper added. When a case fails, defendants lack the same power to rake money from the plaintiffs for the cost of fighting the lawsuit, she noted.

Just kicking these creeps in the face would be going too easy on them.

(3,010 posts)exact copies of the lawsuit naming themselves as the plaintiff? If you don't have to have standing, can't anyone sue?
I'm imagining some complaint getting posted against an individual, reporting that they assisted in an abortion in some way. Then, entire groups of RWs on the message board filing his/her own suit against that individual.
Essentially, it turns into a mob, financially attacking this one individual.
Am I misunderstanding the potential here?

(50,236 posts)keep kids safe with masks. If they own a business, make it known and shut it down. Snoop into their backgrounds and dig out the dirt and make it public. If people think it's okay to make private, personal, medical decisions for strangers, they need to get a taste of invasion of privacy.
