There are questions about how this will be enforced.

The article is short, but worth reading.
Since this ridiculous ordinance is to only be enforced by private lawsuits, I suggest that pro-choice activists keep watch on the legal filings around this and publish the name of anyone who files one of these suits. Make a website, keep a list of names and addresses of every person who files one of these suits against another American.
Name and shame these fascists in front of the world. Court filings are public records generally so this would not be private information to "doxx" anyone with.
Imagine how they'd tear their hair out if there was a law to confiscate guns from people who didn't pass a background check for it, and it was enforced only by private citizens.
They're fucking craven hypocrites, but what else is new?
When Kavanaugh of all people isn't defending your law, you done fell off the Right Edge.
Yep. This means that even THEY can't find a way to force it through. They obviously hate abortion and want it to go away. If they thought they could make it disappear entirely, they would.
Kavanaugh was never that extreme. He's the squishiest of the 3 Trump nominees by far. Gorsuch is way more consistent, actually in a good way much of the time, like when he wrote the majority opinion prohibiting certain discrimination against gay and trans people using a originalist textualist approach.
That's kinda what I thought.
