Remember Greg Abbott? He’s the attorney general who made millions by suing a Texas homeowner.  Now he’s trying to deny access to the courts to someone else who got injured:

Attorney General Greg Abbott on Wednesday asked the Texas Supreme Court to throw out a lawsuit by Emmalene Rankin, who discovered a surgical sponge lodged in her abdomen 10 years and eight months after a hysterectomy.

The amicus brief, written by state Solicitor General James Ho, asks the court to support the Texas statute of repose, which places a strict 10-year deadline on filing a medical malpractice lawsuit.

"Our legal system does not remedy injuries in perpetuity. Evidence grows stale; eyewitnesses move; records become lost; and parties receive assurances that courts will not re-examine acts from the distant past that have long since faded from memory," Ho wrote.
