From @Richard Signorelli
Assuming the TX law is clearly unconstitutional & therefore illegal, I would advise anyone sued to consider asserting a counterclaim against the bounty hunter for violating their constitutional rights. Bounty hunters should be aware that this would not be a 1-sided battle.

(3,764 posts)It might actually be a HIPAA violation to report someone for having an abortion. It might depend on the circumstances. If it was a coworker, a patient or a client, its definitely a HIPAA violation.
As a call center worker who worked for healthcare providers and government agencies Ive had HIPAA training and we were taught never to discuss sensitive health data without a legitimate healthcare need. Reporting an abortion is NOT a legitimate healthcare need.

(10,072 posts)This is so clearly a religious law. Embryos and fetuses are not people. These clump of cells in a womb have been given special rights over the woman' a body. What other living thing is allowed to live off a person without that person's consent?
If I need a kidney, does my mother now have to, against her will, give me one of hers? No. Because most Adults in the US have a right to do with their bodies what they want.
Only human embryos and fetuses get this special treatment because some religious idiot thinks it's a baby when a wiggly sperm lands on an egg. Such religious nonsense.
