Texas passes law banning abortion after six weeks
The law, one of the most restrictive in the US, passes as the Supreme Court fails to block it. …
An ordinary American, from Texas or elsewhere, may now be able to seek up to $10,000 (£7,200) in damages in a civil court against abortion providers and doctors – and possibly anyone at all involved in the process. That means people like clinic staff, family members, or clergy who encourage or support the procedure could, in theory, be sued.
