there is nothing stopping the Left from doing the same thing with their ever increasing list of grievances.

They've been doing it for a century. I don't see your point.

They have been doing it with zealot lawyers willing to tilt at windmills pro bono. The odds are against being able to argue a precedent setting case so the majority of lawyers will spend their time taking cases they can win rather than spending their time arguing cases that are mostly going to fail and cost them money.

This is providing legal code written to the purpose and a profit motive at $10,000 plus legal fees a pop built in for a guaranteed payday, so every ambulance chaser around will have a new income stream. Plus there is the lovely little “see something, say something” anonymous tip line, I mean what are they? The coochie police?! 1984 much?!

I guess I still don't see your point. Do you favor making abortion both rare and illegal? If so, what do you suggest? If not, I don't see that you have a dog in this fight.

Are you KIDDING me?! We all have a dog in the fight regarding the overreach that has just taken place in Texas. They have just codified a new Stasi and have done so in the civil courts (where the accused have few rights including having no right to representation).

[SamuraiScot]

Kidding? Let me think--No. You're free to make those arguments, and it's important to raise them, but let's say there's an element missing from your brief, as far as Christian civilization goes, which is, "What do you suggest as an alternative tack?"

If you have no objection to the imposition of child sacrifice on our country since 1973, alarm about the possibility of frivolous lawsuits--which are indeed undesirable--seems like (please pardon the cliché) rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
