The Texas State Senate passed Senate Bill 2880, an anti-abortion measure imposing steep fines for distributing abortion medication, while also preventing state courts from reviewing its constitutionality. The bill allows individuals to sue those involved in providing abortion-inducing drugs, with penalties reaching up to $100,000. Critics, including legal experts, argue this limits judicial oversight, representing a significant overreach of legislative power. Senator Bryan Hughes, the bill's author, maintains that lawmakers can dictate the terms for legal challenges, despite the implications for constitutional checks and balances.
Texas's State Senate has passed an anti-abortion bill that seeks to punish anyone who distributes abortion medication with huge fines - and it includes a provision forbidding any state court from reviewing its constitutionality.
While it can be challenged in federal court, the bill includes a clause that forbids any state court from reviewing its legality, essentially stripping away a constitutional check from the judiciary.
