Teen Endangerment Act passes Senate

As expected, the Senate passed the Teen Endangerment and Grandmother Incarceration Act yesterday.
So how the hell are they going to enforce this thing? The government doesn’t have the resources to send investigators knocking on every clinic’s door to ask whether they’ve obtained parental consent from all out-of-state minors. I’m guessing that, instead, upset parents will sue clinics for providing abortion services to their daughters. And they’ll bring those lawsuits with the help of major conservative and anti-abortion organizations.
Sigh.
