One of the perks of not living in Texas (besides that glaringly obvious one) is that you can donate to this charity and potentially get placed on a bounty list by a lunatic who may try to sue you for $10,000 if they find out about your donation and learn that you’re visiting.

It’s like an extra perk for donating to a good cause 😈😈😈

Donate and keep the lunatics busy, folks!

Context:

“It allows private citizens to file a civil lawsuit against anyone who knowingly "aids or abets" an abortion. If successful, the law instructs courts to award plaintiffs at least $10,000 in damages from defendants.”

Oh look, there’s more! From just a few weeks ago:

Texas Could Push Tech Platforms to Censor Posts About Abortion

If passed, the proposed law would also require internet service providers to block websites that discuss access to abortion.

What's More Than This Statement:

"You can't get any more free than not having the freedom to talk freely about abortions on the internet." ~~~ probably the vast majority of elected Texas officials

miss_s_b,

@absolutspacegrl your country is going backwards and it seems to be going faster :(

@Codified yeah. It’s scary.

And from just a few days ago:

“Last month, just weeks after the divorce his wife had filed for was finalized, Silva filed a “wrongful death” lawsuit against three of her closest friends, seeking $1m from each. He claims that the women helped his wife obtain abortion medication in July 2022 – two months after she had filed for divorce from him, and just a few weeks after the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v Wade and states like Texas outlawed abortion.”

And this is coming up on Friday, which, if banned, could impact pregnant persons in states where abortion is banned even worse than how things are now. Yeah.

“Supreme Court temporarily extends access to abortion drug, sets Friday night deadline.”

Oh! I have more on that!

“The Food and Drug Administration approved mifepristone in 2000 — 23 years ago — after studying the drug for “triple the average amount of time” it typically takes to study drugs, according to a CBS Evening News report Oliver showed.

“He then showed a CNN report citing an analysis it did on FDA data showing that the risk of death from penicillin is five times greater than from mifepristone, and the risk of death from Viagra is 10 times greater”

mapu,

@absolutspacegrl never think that an honest application of law would drive a judge.

A very surprising yet much needed “win”, for now at least.

Of note: “Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito publicly dissented; the votes of the other justices were not disclosed.”

“Supreme Court protects access to abortion pill”

  • The Supreme Court on Friday protected access to a widely used abortion drug by freezing lower-court rulings that placed restrictions on its usage as appeals play out.

@absolutspacegrl Clarence Thomas continues to be reprehensible.

@absolutspacegrl So this is when the 1st amendment goes to die, because there are six fascists on SCOTUS, which are meant to protect us and now won’t.
