will continue to defend the laws enacted by the Legislature and uphold the values of the people of Texas by doing everything in my power to protect mothers and babies,' Paxton posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
The plaintiffs said the abortion ban, which allows an abortion to save a mother's life or prevent the impairment of a major bodily function, has made doctors fear of potential liability if the state does not consider a case a medical emergency.
