This seems more like a scare tactic than anything (I hope).

This is like one of DeSantis' moronic toilet bills. How could you even enforce it?

Stop every car going in and out of state and making everyone take a pregnancy test... and if they were, then what? Send them back? What the crap is this, how imaginary and hypothetical are these right wing legislations going to go?

how imaginary and hypothetical are these right wing legislations

From the article:

For example, Dickson said, a husband who doesn’t want his wife to get an abortion could threaten to sue the friend who offers to drive her.

They're not imaginary, they don't even try to hide their true agenda: going back to treating women as property.

Sorry. You're right, these aren't imaginary or hypothetical. They probably have thought out the practicalities, which is even scarier.
