Reproductive rights advocates have vowed to keep the fight going for women who will be “forced into generational poverty” after Texas passed an extreme abortion law.
Under the law, residents of the state can sue for at least $10,000 clinics, doctors, nurses and even people who drive a woman to get the procedure six weeks after a pregnancy.
“We’re talking about young women who live in some of the most dire communities,” Marsha Jones, a Texas native and CEO of the Afiya Center in Dallas that advocates for Black women and girls, was quoted by the ABC as saying.

Texas just gave a blueprint to any state that wan't to restrict any legally recognized Constitutional right.
I can see something like California making a similar law restricts all sale, trading or giving away of guns and ammunition and lets private citizens or organizations to sue gun shops, people driving people to gun shops, private people selling guns, you name it. Guns shops will quickly get sued out of existence in California.
Hell, they don't even have to make gun ownership illegal, they just have to make it so guns and ammunition can't be easily bought or sold without getting sued and then wait.
