2. How can someone prosecute facilitating an abortion
Sat Sep 4, 2021, 02:38 PM
Sep 2021

if there is no evidence of an abortion. The name of the woman would be essential in any lawsuit. Otherwise, there is no evidence that any abortion took place. The defense would simply say, "What abortion?" "The abortion of the fetus of an unnamed woman" is not evidence of an abortion. "What woman?" is the response. No woman; no abortion.

That is a fatal flaw in this law. Either that or the woman in the video is lying through her vampire-like teeth.

That's basic in the legal system. You must have actual evidence or your case is tossed out.

It's not really the Gladys Kravitz-types that will be filing the lawsuits. Someone, or some organizations like these crackpots, has a plan and that law will enable their "fundraising".

since around the middle of the second season. Not because it was bad, far from it. The writing, acting and directing are top notch. It's just too painfully real right now.

Texas Right to Life is the only organization to help families navigate the transfer process through the imbalance of power in the hospital system.

Apparently the intent here was to make this woman look like the embodiment of absolute evil, and they did an excellent job.
