So the court agreed that banning abortion at 6 weeks violates the law. However, because the enforcement of this is civil and essentially deputized citizens to enforce this via civil penalty, removing the state, then three is no criminal violation of precedent.

This is nuts.
So essentially any state and circumvent rules against state power from the feds by simply assigning enforcement to private individuals.

Can I sue you if you arent vaccinated in California now?
This is primed for legal disaster when other states follow suit.

Texas Woman Charged With Murder for ‘Self-Induced Abortion’

A 26-year-old Texas woman was arrested and charged with murder Thursday after allegedly performing a “self-induced abortion.”

Lizelle Herrera remained in custody with a bond set at $500,000 after “intentionally and knowingly cause[d] the death of an individual by self-induced abortion,” the Starr County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement Friday.

Herrera’s arrest comes seven months after Texas’ SB8 (or the “Heartbeat Act”) went into effect, a law that bans abortions after six weeks, or before when many women would realize they’re pregnant. SB8 — the most restrictive anti-abortion bill in the U.S. and the basis of copycat laws sprouting up in states like Idaho — has faced legal challenges since it went into effect Sept. 1, 2021, but the Texas Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the bill in March. The U.S. Supreme Court also declined to block the law, despite some dissent.
