That's bonkers, all right. But that's just Texas, not the entire US. And
surely the most ridiculous parts will fail legal scrutiny.

But until there's a constitutional amendment protecting abortion, there
will be silly situations like this, and no guarantee that abortions will be
available.

Unfortunately, our ability to pass constitutional amendments is seriously
in doubt. We couldn't even pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
