Texas abortion law was passed last Wednesday that is one of the most restrictive in the country. It prohibits most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy and makes no exceptions for pregnancies that were a result of incest or rape.
While state officials are barred from enforcing the law, it instead deputizes private citizens, regardless of their connection to the situation, and allows them to sue anyone who performs the procedure or aids and abets it.
This could include Uber/Lyft drivers, who, keep in mind, don’t even know where their passenger is going until they pick them up.This law puts an extreme and disproportionate burden on women, as there is nothing even close to the equivalent that restricts what medical decisions a man can make.
