District court judge blocks landmark Texas 'fetal heartbeat' abortion law
[FOXNEWS] A district court judge issued a Temporary Restraining Order blocking Texas S.B. 8 child sacrifice abortion law on Wednesday, finding in favor of the U.S. Department of Justice, which had sought the order to block the law from going into effect.

"A person’s right under the Constitution to choose to obtain an child sacrifice abortion prior to fetal viability is well established.

#2 Obama appointee. In Berkley on the Brazos. Plus, a 113-page opinion isn't a judicial ruling: it's either a resume builder or an op-ed.
