"Knowledge" worker in Texas here (native; didn't move here). I don't feel this affects me for a few reasons, but I will say that I'm also aware that 1. I can travel out of state, and 2. drugs are available online and there are drugs that can provide medical abortions - perhaps those can be put together.

That said, in talking with a colleague this morning, we agreed that if the state does go completely crazy and manages to secede, we just want enough notice to sell our property so we can leave.

I'd assume the GOP leadership in TX will act in bad faith or for their protection first. If you have a single female friend or associate this ruling will impact you. It will have far reaching consequences beyond just abortion access including the possibility of IVR becoming illegal as well. We're about to see a huge slate of medical procedures and practices caught up in this ruling.

And you are willing to risk going to prison for murder (that's what they will call it) if caught?

Have you seen the recent news from Texas? You might have noticed that our police aren't all that effective.

The Texas law makes it so any citizen can file a civil suit against anyone who has an abortion, including ones performed out of state. There are already pro-life organizations that will help people fund these civil suits.
