Texas judge blocks enforcement of pre-Roe v. Wade abortion ban, clinics’ lawyers say
A Texas judge on Tuesday blocked officials from enforcing a dormant 1925 abortion ban that the state’s Republican attorney-general said was back in effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to the procedure nationwide.
“Every hour that abortion is accessible in Texas is a victory,” Marc Hearron, a lawyer at the Center for Reproductive Rights, said in a statement. The decision came amid a flurry of litigation by abortion rights groups seeking to slow or halt Republican-backed restrictions on the ability of women to terminate pregnancies that are now taking effect or are poised to do so in 22 states.
