So what are we talking about today?

Well, let's start with an update in the Texas abortion case.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Remember that in May, S.B.8 was signed into law.

And the law is like a lot of other restrictive abortion laws

because it bans nearly every abortion.

But this one had a novel twist because usually the state

is responsible for enforcing abortion laws.

But with S.B.8, the law is written so that private individuals,

not the state of Texas, enforce the law.

So that means that ordinary people get to sue.

And they get to sue not just people who provide abortions,

but anybody who helps the pregnant woman obtain one.

Now, that presents a huge challenge.

Usually when you have a law like this,

you can bring a lawsuit even before enforcement

by suing the government official who's responsible

for enforcing the law.

in Texas try to different approach.
