*Comment: Ken Paxton worked with lawyer Jonathan Mitchell - who drafted the Texas antiabortion heartbeat bill:

"Mitchell is credited with devising the novel enforcement mechanism in the Texas Heartbeat Act, also known as Senate Bill 8 (or SB 8), which outlaws abortion after cardiac activity is detected and avoids judicial review by prohibiting government officials from enforcing the statute and empowering private citizens to bring lawsuits against those who violate it."
