A number of questions about the new Texas abortion law have come up as the first case has been filed against a doctor who claims he performed an abortion.
Is there a limit to the number of cases that can be filed against a doctor for performing one abortion? Can a case be filed against the doctor for each abortion he or she performs or does one case cover all abortions performed by that person?
Does the person filing the lawsuit have to prove an abortion was performed? The doctor in this first case claimed he performed an abortion in an op-ed piece in the Washington Post.
