You are correct.

This is the best example of a "feel good, do nothing" law that I can think of.

But don't criticize it or people will cal you "pro-baby killer."

It's a stupid law and it's going to bite conservatives in their asses.

Wait before you conclude this. Another case is pending in GA. This one goes directly to the source of the evil. It will be hard fought.

It’s worse than that, if you read the statute. It makes a mockery of the standing doctrine, provides for one-way fee shifting, allows blatant forum-shopping, denies constitutional protections for the accused (make no mistake, they can call it “damages” but it is plainly a criminal fine), prohibits sanctions for frivolous lawsuits, and requires those challenging the statute’s constitutionality to pay the government’s attorney fees. It is an abuse of state power written by a lawyer who probably thought he came up with a clever way to evade judicial review. In that, it has been moderately successful, but that will only last until someone is actually sued under the statute. At that point, the suit will ultimately be dismissed for lack of constitutional standing under the Texas constitution.

Abortion should be illegal. The way to do it is to make it a crime and then push for Roe to be overturned.
