Last I heard there was a 5 figure bounty offered for grassing out a woman who had or will have an abortion.
As if miscarriaging weren’t traumatic enough, now they’ll be treated like suspected criminals. And police in the States, and especially Texas, aren’t known for their circumstantial reasonability or flexibility.

Just to be technical, the new precedent is ‘Dobbs v. Jackson’, which overturned Roe v Wade.
Yep as Villa_ru said. It’s at a point where women are being advised to delete their period tracking apps in order to avoid potentially incriminating themselves in an alleged abortion. Some states (iirc) have already made it illegal for residents to get abortions outside the state, and good luck to any that tragically have a natural miscarriage out of the country. Anti-abortion activists will find encouragement from this ruling as they bully clinics and patients in states where it’s still legal.
That’s where it’s at right now. Undoing it will take a lot of political capital and legal work, and time. Meanwhile, the republicans will continue down their list of targets.
