The Texas law allows any party to sue a doctor who performs a banned abortion for a minimum of $10,000.

A Texas doctor who recently admitted to performing an abortion in violation of the state's new restrictive law is facing a legal challenge from a convicted felon hoping to collect at least $10,000., Dr. Alan Braid admitted that earlier this month he violated the law by performing an abortion on a woman during her first trimester of pregnancy, but after the roughly six week period that the Texas law allows.

Stilley's suit was the first legal challenge against Braid since the opinion article was published. Stilley toldthat he is not personally opposed to abortion but he hopes to collect the money and that his suit was an opportunity to determine whether the law was"garbage." Stilley is seeking a total of $100,000, although his complaint notes that he expects to receive"in no case less than the statutory minimum of $10,000." He was convicted on tax fraud charges in 2010 and is currently serving a 15-year sentence under house arrest, having been released from prison due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

How can we send him 💵? Gilead. Christian sharia. Texas Taliban. So let’s see, there is no proof this really happened and because of hippa the doctor is unable to give out personal information. The lawsuit is flawed and to tie up the courts to everyone should file a lawsuit.
