TEXAS ABORTION LAW
I Am Really Ashamed of the Supreme Court
For legalizing Extortion, Torture, Vigilantism, Instituting a “Guilty until Proven Innocent” doctrine, and redefining “Pregnancy”. At least Sotomayor, Breyer, and Kagan have sense.
Judge Sotomayor’s dissent states: “This case is a disaster for the rule of law…”
and this list shows why. Abortion is even secondary to other horrible provisions in that law.
If the Supreme Court does not strike down the entire Texas Abortion law, they will:
1) Legalize Extortion! The extortionist may receive up to $10,000. The defendant must always pay something, at least the legal fees, even if the defendant wins.
2) Reinstate Torture! SECTION 8.(a)(4)(B) & (D)
3) Reverse the “Innocent until Proven Guilty” doctrine! Sec. 171.208., (f-1)
4) Redefine Pregnancy! SECTION 3, SUBCHAPTER H, (5). By definition, a woman who has never had sex can be pregnant.
5) Encourages Self-Abortions! Every woman who has a menstrual period, by that pregnancy definition, can be sued by anyone in the state of Texas for an assumed abortion!
6) Uses the courts for political goals via civil suits! To meet the “equal protection of the laws” portion of the 14th Amendment, they need to expand the extortion rights to all people for all actions. Failure to expand such lawsuits to everything would be discrimination.
7) Severance —Splits a Court Decision! SECTION 10. Every single section of the bill must be challenged and thrown out by the court. If a section is not explicitly included in a ruling, it remains in effect.
8) Institute Vigilantism! Allows anybody to bring suit, even when they have no direct interest.
9) Unequal Protection under the Law! Men have no responsibility! The law should make the man named by the woman pay child support until age 18. The defendant must be forced to pay something, at least the legal fees, even if the defendant wins, as established by the #1 extortion point.
10) Void the 13th amendment! Forces the woman into 18 years of forced labor. Based on the pregnancy definition, the woman may have only 1 or 2 weeks to find a doctor and get an abortion from the time she knows she is pregnant — an impossible task.
If I came to this conclusion about its main points, Sleazy lawyers will too and exploit it.
It has already started with the sleazy lawyers in state legislatures:
