In Davis v. Sharp, (WD TX, Feb. 15, 2023), another attempt to challenge Texas' SB 8, the heartbeat abortion ban enforceable only by private lawsuits, failed on standing grounds. The suit was brought by Stigma Relief Fund and three of its supporters against defendants who threatened to enforce the law against abortion funds and their associates for aiding illegal abortions. However, because defendants filed statements disclaiming any intention to sue the particular fund and supporters who are plaintiffs in this case, plaintiffs failed to show any injury sufficient to give them standing to sue. Law & Crime reports on the decision.
