This lawsuit is the first attempt to test what happens when state abortion laws are at odds with each other. New York has a shield law that protects providers from out-of-state investigations and prosecutions, which has served as implicit permission for a network of doctors to mail abortion pills into states that have banned the procedure.

Why can Ken Paxton sue doctors out of his own fucking state yet family members of women who died because of the abortion ban can't sue Ken Paxton?

Say it together again, folks...

Conservatism strives to build a system where there is an in-group, which law protects but does not bind, and out-groups which the law binds but does not protect.

I think this is not conservatism, but a bunch of crooks, holding power in the state, who play to the most radical elements to shore up their theft of state funds.

For the same reason that millions of dollars of police effort are spent to catch one person who kills a billionaire and relatively small sums are spent catching murderers of regular people.

There are two tiers of justice.

You can file a lawsuit against large numbers of people if you're willing to pay the filing fee. That's different from getting anywhere in the suit.
