Youre right. You cant sue or punish the woman directly which is how they are trying to get around the "undue burden". Also by having citizens do it, its not govt action.
A random person doesnt have standing despite Texas legislature trying to create some new jurisprudence.
This will be struck down but the 5 justices allowing it to go forward ... absolutely going against their oath to uphold the law.
Like I said .. very dangerous for the SCOTUS seemingly becoming political. To sit on it is political bc they knew if they acted they would have to strike an unconstitutional law down.
How conservatives can cheer this on .. sad.
