Texas state Supreme Court issues order allowing for civil enforcement of century-old abortion ban
CNN
The Texas Supreme Court issued an order late Friday partially granting state Attorney General Ken Paxton's request to stay a lower court order that had temporarily blocked a nearly century-old abortion ban in the state.
The state high court's order now allows for civil enforcement of the 1925 pre-Roe v. Wade ban, court documents show.
But the Center for Reproductive Rights has interpreted the stay to mean that the law cannot be enforced criminally.
