AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A measure that would allow Texas residents to sue out-of-state abortion pill providers advanced to the desk of Gov. Greg Abbott Wednesday, setting the state up to be the first to try to crack down on the most common abortion method.
Supporters say it’s a key tool to enforce the state’s abortion ban, protecting women and fetuses.
Opponents see it not only as another way to rein in abortion but as an effort to intimidate abortion providers outside Texas who are complying with the laws in their states — and to encourage a form of vigilantism.
If the measure becomes law, it’s nearly certain to spark legal challenges from abortion rights supporters.

We see what they are doing to you guys. 
Pure fucking evil.
She told us on FB when Biden won that she'd dance outside but she might get shot.
(with the slow courts), based on what Paxton did during the 2020 election suing other states because he didn't like how they ran their elections - the courts (including the SCOTUS) threw the suits out.
In essence, a state doesn't have that kind of authority over how another state handles its affairs.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has rejected a lawsuit backed by President Donald Trump to overturn Joe Biden’s election victory, ending a desperate attempt to get legal issues rejected by state and federal judges before the nation’s highest court and subvert the will of voters.

Friday’s order marked the second time this week that the court had rebuffed Republican requests that it get involved in the 2020 election outcome and reject the voters’ choice, as expressed in an election regarded by both Republican and Democratic officials as free and fair. The justices turned away an appeal from Pennsylvania Republicans on Tuesday. On Monday, the Electoral College meets to formally elect Biden as the next president.
Trump had called the lawsuit filed by Texas against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin “the big one” that would end with the Supreme Court undoing Biden’s substantial Electoral College majority and allowing Trump to serve another four years in the White House.
In a brief order, the court said Texas does not have the legal right to sue those states because it “has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.”

Whenever you DO see states "cooperate", they have MOUs (Memorandums of Understanding) and other agreements (like for extradition) in place to authorize it.
I do get what you are saying - "What's good for the goose is good for the gander".
