A prominent U.S. lawsuit to ban the abortion pill mifepristone has focused on the drug's safety and approval process. But the outcome may ultimately rest on a different issue: whether Ingrid Skop, an anti-abortion doctor in Texas, and other physicians behind the lawsuit can justify suing in the first place.
If courts were to adopt the plaintiffs’ argument for standing, these experts said, emergency room doctors could sue over almost any regulation that impacted their workload, from oversight of guns to alcohol to teen drivers.
I think this article really shows the ridiculousness if the doctor did have standing to sue like this. It really opens a big can of worms most of which conservatives would not enjoy
It only opens a big can of worms if you apply logic. The supreme court could (and has) made explicit carveouts (e.g. You can only sue over this one thing). Never underestimate how corrupt the court can be.
The topic is standing

The judge that ruled on this case just wanted to get it before the Supreme Court. There is nothing in his ruling that is in good faith. The entire case is bullshit. The Supreme Court is so far right but I do not think even they can agree with this ruling. No legal basis whatsoever. They would look like utter fools if they leave this ruling in place.
I ordered some just in case before the original ruling. plancpills.org
