Texas s Abortion Law Blunder – WSJ

Most laws delegate enforcement to public officials. This one delegates exclusive enforcement to private citizens, who are authorized to sue anyone who aids or abets an abortion after six weeks. Citizens who prevail in their civil lawsuits are entitled to at least $10,000 per abortion along with legal costs.

The law sets an awful precedent that conservatives should hate. Could California allow private citizens to sue individuals for hate speech? Or New York deputize private lawsuits against gun owners?

It is a weird law and I don’t know whether the Court will uphold it or not. It would be a tough call even if the Court just followed the law, but regarding abortion notoriously they do not.
