“The Court finds that S.B. 8 creates a probable, irreparable, and imminent injury in the interim for which plaintiffs and their physicians, staff and patients throughout Texas have no adequate remedy at law if plaintiffs, their physicians, and staff are subjected to private enforcement lawsuits against them under S.B. 8,”
Statement from Helene Krasnoff, vice president for public policy litigation and law, Planned Parenthood Federation of America:
We are relieved that the Travis County district court has acted quickly to grant this restraining order against Texas Right to Life and anyone working with them as deputized enforcers of this draconian law. This restraining order offers protection to the brave health care providers and staff at Planned Parenthood health centers throughout Texas, who have continued to offer care as best they can within the law while facing surveillance, harassment, and threats from vigilantes eager to stop them. But make no mistake: this is not enough relief for Texas. Planned Parenthood will continue fighting for the millions of Texans affected by S.B. 8., doing everything we can under the law to restore Texans’ federal constitutional right to access abortion.
Again the reason behind the TRO is TX-SB8 effectively deputizes every private citizen in Texas to sue
Sec. 171.208. CIVIL LIABILITY FOR VIOLATION OR AIDING OR ABETTING VIOLATION. (a) Authorizes any person, other than an officer or employee of a state or local governmental entity in this state, to bring a civil action against any person
What TX-SB8 does by the aforementioned subsection is beyond disgusting it’s a complete Frankenstein of all Frankenstein Anti-Abortion Bills to date. And the Judicial Crisis Network’s Leo I-FUCK-GOATs-SATAN Leonard’s life long goal and dream —I do not respect anything about the Judicial Crisis Network or Leo Leonard <—he’s a sexual predator and has a flaccid misogynistic soul. The “you don’t mess with Texas” and their draconian TX-SB8 is getting the proper shellacking in State Courts. 1959 called and they want their misogyny back…
…but again the real action is and has always been in the 5thCCOAs
