Hardcore partisans all sound the same after a while. It's like they just copy each other's scripts and use a quick word replace scan to reverse the favored buzzwords.
Is the argument "leaders of every state concerned with protecting innocent residents from avoidable slaughter" should use the civil-suit enforcement gimmick from Texas abortion law supporters or from this op-ed? Guess without looking.

I get it. People passionately believe they are defending lives and nearly any tactic is acceptable because of that. But, don't forget, the people on the other side believe the same thing and are just as eager to use whatever tactic they can.

My best guess is the courts will figure out a way to stop this strategy before things get too out of hand. If not, we'll all be incentivized to sue each other over every hot button issue pretty soon. At least the lawyers will be happy, I guess?
