    If I were her I would stay gone by any means necessary. Texas is not going to be here friend after this. Texas is very sad place. There are many people in Texas who hate all of this and they feel pretty helpless. The Republicans have had Texas by the balls for decades.

      With something as high-profile and publicly broadcast as her series of events, she would almost certainly have to stay gone. Prosecutors will be itching to make an example out of her and anybody associated with her out-of-state trip.

        She is for sure not safe in Texas at this point. I feel terrible for her. Having an unviable pregnancy is hard enough. To be fighting in court on international news is traumatizing.

      I’m not 100% on this, but doesn’t Texas have a bounty law paying people to turn in accomplices to abortion?

      If it’s true, not only is she not safe in Texas, she will literally be hunted for a paycheck.

        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.
