1:34Now PlayingTexas abortion providers have reason to celebrate after a federal judge temporarily blocked a ban on most procedures in the state, but they still face significant financial risks if the strictest such law in the nation is eventually upheld.
The law banning abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy -- before many women know they’re pregnant -- is designed so that private citizens rather than the state enforce it, making judicial review of the statute difficult. Under the law, known as S.B. 8, anyone in the country can sue anyone suspected of performing or aiding an illegal abortion in Texas. And the lawsuits, which offer bounties of at least $10,000 per procedure, can be filed as many as four years later.
