Lyft, Uber lash out at legal threat from strict Texas abortion law

>Website hosting service GoDaddy Inc. on Friday, meanwhile, shut down a Texas anti-abortion website that allowed people to report suspected abortions.

Assuming that it is legal to do what that website was doing, this is kind of becoming what people feared... tech companies deciding what laws are going to be upheld and what laws are not. Now you will have to align with the morality of the big corporations that dominate web hosting, even if what you're doing is 100% legal.

Just thinking, what happens if their morality starts to diverge from the mainstream (at the moment mainstream opinion on abortion is opposed to bans and in favor of various restrictions beyond the 22 week point of viability, seems to be against this law as it is essentially a ban).

Good. I live here and can't leave fast enough. This state is a mess.

Why isn’t it?

>The ban leaves enforcement up to individual citizens, enabling them to sue anyone who provides or "aids or abets" an abortion after six weeks.

i'm kind of puzzled by that extension of legal standing to everybody. I mean anybody who notices say a woman losing a bit of weight and that basically allows to file a suit, trigger discovery, and now the woman should prove that it was just a morning exercises?

It takes Neghbourhood Watch to new, medieval, heights so to speak.

This law is quite insane, and it seems entirely rational to oppose your drivers being liable simply for driving woman to a clinic.
