    They do, but those laws have failed in every situation I’ve read.

    Apparently Oklahoma deemed their bounty law unconstitutional.

    In Texas, a case got thrown out because the plaintiff must show that they’ve been harmed by the actions of the defendant. Some random jackass can’t sue for an abortion that doesn’t impact them in any way, as much as the Texas legislature would like that to be the case.

        Yeah probably working as intended unfortunately. They’re just there to be a nuisance and deterrent even if they’re unenforceable.
