NY law says they wont co-operate with othe states on ant abortion laws. Id allow people in NY or other states to sue people in texas.

IE doctor smith in texas perscribes an abortion pill to a texas woman whchi then gets the pill from pharmacy x

joe texas decides to sue both the doctor and the pharmacy under the new texas law.

my idea would allow any resident of NY to file a lawsuit in NY against joe texas. same idea as the texas law.
