all of these 'laws' have yet to be challenged.

Not exactly a brain trust down there. Give it time. Eventually someone will wake up.

(My sincere apologies to the intelligent Texan DUers for lumping you in with them.)

and in fact could possibly get all ultrasound laws struck down at once as padding a bill with the cost of a medically unnecessary test. The fact that the Texas law meets the Federal criteria for rape (shoving a dildo into an unwilling woman) probably won't help it stand scrutiny.

I have a feeling it will be overturned by the lower courts and the higher courts will refuse to hear the case.

I just feel terribly sorry for my sisters in Texas who will be raped by the state before it is overturned. I would tell them NM is reasonably within a day's drive and our laws aren't insane. And a motel room to recover in and then crash out, resting for the next day's drive back to Texas, is quite reasonably priced here.

Your idea will work so long as Texas does not make it a felony to cross state lines for contraception services. That law is probably next.
