Texas 'fetal heartbeat' abortion law reinstated by appeals court ruling
Fox News
A federal appeals court reinstated Texas’ controversial six-week abortion ban on Friday night, days after a lower court suspended the Republican-backed law.
"Great news tonight, The Fifth Circuit has granted an administrative stay on #SB8. I will fight federal overreach at every turn," Paxton wrote on Twitter after the decision.
The appeals court decision means the abortion law is reinstated pending further legal actions. In his earlier decision, Pitman referred to the law as an "offensive deprivation" of the constitutional right to an abortion.
