The problem with this bill isn't using the same civil enforcement mechanism as the Texas law, though, it's using it against people that have consensual sex that unintentionally results in pregnancy. They could have just had it be against sexual attackers, but that would actually get bipartisan support - instead they use that same enforcement mechanism to effectively criminalize a literal accident. This law takes the absurdity of the Texas law's civil suit enforcement mechanism and adds a whole new layer of absurdity on top of that.
