It
is bad enough that Texas politicians, of the Republican Party, tried to
completely ban abortion. Along with the ban they are trying to complicate
things by turning citizens into law suit happy toy cops, vigilantes or busy
bodies.
Abortion
clinics across the country already have to deal with trouble makers who put
glue or tooth pics in their locks in attempts to keep the clinic doors from
opening. They have made use of all kinds of nasty tricks against clinics
including the murder of Dr. George Tiller on May 31, 2009.
This
new law was discussed in Catholics for Choice:
“Catholics
for Choice, which uplifts and amplifies the voices of the majority of Catholics
who believe in reproductive freedom, condemned Texas’s dangerous and
unconstitutional new abortion ban and the United States Supreme Court for
allowing it to take effect today despite ongoing legal challenges.
The law
bans abortion after six weeks, in direct violation of Roe v. Wade,
and allows private citizens to file suit in state court against anyone who
helps a Texan terminate a pregnancy – from doctors and medical staff to the
spouse or clergy member the pregnant person may have discussed their decision
with, the family member who may have helped pay for the abortion, or the friend
who might have given them a ride to the clinic. If that random private citizen
wins, the law awards them a minimum of $10,000 plus attorneys’ fees. And, if
the target of their lawsuit is an abortion provider, the law orders the court
to shut down that clinic.”
I
don’t understand why these conservatives want to change their citizens into
busy bodies, crybabies and snitches. Most of the people I know hate snitches.
And many of us hate vigilantes or as we call them “Toy Cops” or “cop wannabes.”
There used to be a character in the old sitcom Bewitched called Mrs Gladys Kravitz. She was always
spying on the Steven’s family. She was an annoying character and that is what
future citizens of America will look like if these Texas politicians get their
way.
Suing
a driver for taking a woman to get an abortion is one of the most ridiculous
and cruel ideas I have ever heard of. For the simple act of driving a woman in
a car to a clinic
It’s
amazingly cruel. It is almost like something out of a bad movie plot or
something we might expect from Nazis. It is hard to believe anyone would
seriously want this.
It
also sounds like it violates our constitutional rights in so many ways I could
write a book about it. It’s just plain childish.
Do
we really want a nation of crybabies and snitches running around trying to play
“toy cop?” To take advantage of such a law a person would have to be a real
“low life” character that most of us, left OR right, would despise.
