Texas abortion provider resumes procedures after sixth week of pregnancy following judge's ruling
CNN
An organization that operates several clinics in Texas said Thursday that its staff has provided abortions for patients who are more than six weeks into their pregnancy, after a federal judge Wednesday blocked a Texas law banning the procedure roughly after that point.
In tweets, Whole Woman's Health said that it had "reached out to people on the waiting list we had to turn away in September" and that on Thursday, its staff "bravely provided abortions after 6 weeks."
Under the Texas law, the clinics and their staff could potentially still be held liable in private state court litigation for those abortions if the judge's order blocking the law is ultimately reversed by a higher court.
The Republican-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Thursday morning will send a letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland referring a potential criminal case involving former New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo to the Department of Justice, alleging he lied to Congress.
