Wade, the Biden administrationassailing the Lone Star State for "systematically denying women a constitutional right."
S.B. 8 delegates enforcement to private citizens, who are allowed to sue anyone who "aids or abets" in an abortion for at least $10,000. The Justice Department and other critics say the law establishes a private "bounty hunter" system that is designed to prevent courts from intervening. Texas argued Thursday that the DOJ lacks a stake in the outcome that would allow it to sue, known as standing. "The federal government cannot get an abortion, and the Constitution does not assign it any special role to protect any putative right to abortion," Texas argued.
