3. Bounties are against providers and facilitators.

The woman can still have a miscarriage or abortion, just no one can help her or face civil suit from some anonymous jackass who wants an easy $10kby going after any OB GYN, nurse, midwife, woman's clinic, or hospital - or heck, even someone who occasionally parks a car outside a woman's clinic while visiting a friend in apartments next door.
The person making the suit doesn't even have to personally know someone who had an abortion, just camp out near the office or clinic and collect pictures and licence plate numbers to trace over the internet. Once they find a likely woman, they sue the clinic for providing her with an abortion. Or the Uber driver who took her there.
All they have to tell the court is that she went into the clinic looking pregnant and then she didn't look pregnant a couple weeks later along with the fact there was no new little bundle of joy with her, so they have every right to think she had an abortion.

It's sanctioned non-judicial harrassment by "private citizen vigilantes", and Texas RtL (Right to Lie) is using this "law" to make bank for sponsors, lobby efforts, and Board members by abusing the court system in Texas.

This "law" makes money for theocratic grifters as well as keeping poor and working class women in their place.
