    For those saying the easy answer is not to talk to the police, just keep in mind the police aren’t the only ones you have to worry about.

    This law is intended to provide an avenue for conservative nutjobs to report family/neighbors/coworkers to the police. If someone is reported to police under suspicion of receiving an out-of-state abortion, all they’d need is proof that you were pregnant, proof you are no longer pregnant, and geotagged movement/plate tracking on the suspected date(s) you were out of town, which can all be subpoena’d.

    If you’re a Texan woman seeking abortion, they want you to live every second in fear of those close to you.
