So I just learned about Texas (HB5510), a proposed anti-abortion bounty hunger law that will allow any Texan to sue anyone who posts, tests, emails, writes about, or otherwise provides information on how to get an abortion. It will also allow Texans to sue servers, websites, apps, and platforms.

Usually complains about online censorship are overblown.

Then there are exceptions, such as the proposed "abortion bounty hunter" bill (HB5510) that would basically
- declare abortion information "verboten" 😒
- mark anybody who shares it as a target 😱
- reward random people to hunt them legally 🤯

*obviously I meant that Texas (HB5510) is a bounty hunter law but bounty hunger also kind of works

**and I should note that the proposed civil penalty starts at $100,000

Anyway, Texas (HB5510) is primed to pass, and if you're in Texas or you know a Texan and you care about not chilling abortion talk into some sort of digital ICE-9 hellscape, call your state reps because whoo boy it's terrifying.

Here's a summary of the Texas law HB5510

Texas wants to control what happens in other states

Texas' GOP hates women

Texas (HB5510) is the newest "version" of SB 2880 - HB5510 is the one includes penalties for even posting about abortion plus no lawsuits, court rulings, etc. may overturn it.

Want freedom? Leave Texas.

I just called my Texas house Rep over HB5510. They are now threatening to lock us up for speaking the TRUTH about abortion online. I may end up incarcerated here. I will speak the truth of what is happening to women here with my LAST BREATH. Young women are dying of sepsis here and GOP do NOT care.

A new proposed law in Texas (HB5510) aims to ban talking about abortion online. This bill would set precedent well beyond only abortion, the structure of this bill could be used to censor other types of speech online

Once again, Texas blazes trails for American fascism. #HB5510 suppresses any and all online communication about #abortion. Watch Taylor Lorentz’s coverage here.

Fellow Texans!!

HB5510 is pending! It imposes a travel ban on pregnant individuals & restricts access to abortion pills. All Republican committee members support it, 47-0. Call them to oppose it, or more women like Mallori Srait could face jail without due process.

New Abortion Bounty Hunter Bill In Texas, even going after people who seek out abortion outside of the state & information providers.

This could affect people who even provide information (like blogs or private messages) if that content is available to people in Texas.
