[THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE] TEXAS – […] Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced last week that abortion providers were covered by a state order that required postponement of non-urgent medical procedures to preserve hospital beds and equipment during the pandemic.U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel in Austin ruled that Paxton’s action “prevents Texas women from exercising what the Supreme Court has declared is their fundamental constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy before a fetus is viable.”
| *sigh* Once more through the minuet: Appeals Court, Supreme Court, final ruling in the favour of the great state of Texas, though limited to the duration of the emergency. And those on the other side will do their best to fund raise and politic on the back of it. |
