A federal judge has issued a temporary injunction barring enforcement of Texas' controversial new abortion law.
Texas will likely immediately appeal the ruling. For now, it's unclear if providers in the state will resume providing abortions after a"fetal heartbeat" is detected, according to one law expert.
"One of the many novel provisions in #SB8 provides that abortions performed while a preliminary injunction is in effect can *still* be a basis for liability if the injunction is later stayed/reversed," University of Texas constitutional law professor Steve Vladeck said in aAbortion rights advocates expressed relief at the ruling, while noting the block on the law is only temporary.
"The clinics and doctors we represent hope to resume full abortion services as soon as they are able, even though the threat of being sued retroactively will not be completely gone until SB 8 is struck down for good," Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said in a statement.Anti-abortion group Texas Right to Life reacted to the ruling Wednesday night, saying it was"not surprised.
"This is the legacy of Roe v. Wade: Judges catering to the abortion industry, crafting a conclusion first & then searching the depths of legal literature for a rationale later," the organization"Pro-Life attorneys are expected to appeal the decision immediately, in which we expect a fair hearing," it added.-- though Pitman said the preliminary injunction,"should it stand, discourages states from doing so.
"[If] legislators know they cannot accomplish political agendas that curtail or eliminate constitutional rights and intentionally remove the legal remedy to challenge it, then other states are less likely to engage in copycat legislation," he wrote.This is a developing story.

Greg Abbott said, 'Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas.' Abbott’s disturbing pledge fits in line with a tried-and-true political strategy: claim to address a public health issue by pivoting to crime control.
