Texas appeals judge's temporary injunction barring enforcement of abortion law
Texas has appealed the district court judge's ruling issuing an emergency injunction on the state's restrictive abortion law to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
A federal judge issued a temporary injunction Wednesday night barring enforcement of Texas' controversial new abortion law.
The statute, which went into effect on Sept. 1, after the Supreme Court refused to block it, bans physicians from providing abortions once they detect a so-called fetal heartbeat -- which can be seen on an ultrasound as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.
The unprecedented law, known as SB8, effectively prevents women in Texas from obtaining pre-viability abortions, which are a protected right under the U.S. Constitution -- a fact the judge pointed to in his motion granting the Biden administration's request for an injunction.
