The bill, which is on its way to the governor’s desk, would let a rapist’s family members sue the doctor who performed the abortion on their victim.
—including family members of a rapists— to sue abortion providers for up to four years after the procedure, for a minimum of $20,000 in damages. While Idaho has so humanely said that the rapistscould not sue, under the proposed legislation, they could get their parents and siblings to do so, as well as the would-be brothers and sisters of the fetus in question.
Oh, and apparently nothing in the bill would prevent a rapist with, say, 10 siblings from having every single one of them sue individually and then collecting their cash.But of course provisions like these aren’t really about actual lawsuits, they’re about the threat of lawsuits, which Idaho Republicans are no doubt hoping will scare clinics into no longer performing the procedure.
