If I were living in Texas and looking for ways to combat this law, I'd look into launching some sort of DDOS on its proponents by suing as many of them as frequently as possible on frivolous grounds, like if they took a teenage child to school in a neighbourhood where there is also an abortion clinic within 2 hours of walking.
Fortunately, I don't live anywhere near Texas...
Yes, the bill enables thousands of suits to be filed, even if frivolous, against abortion providers.
> If the person proves that there was no abortion, who covers the legal fees?
The bill explicitly covers the fees of the person bringing the suit, but provides no means for the person being sued to recover legal costs.
The combination of these two facts means that operating a clinic that even is abortion adjacent will no longer be economically viable.
