A Texas judge granted a temporary injunction over the state's abortion ban on Friday, ruling that the law is too restrictive for women with serious pregnancy complications.
A Texas judge ruled Friday that thein the Lone Star State has shown to be too restrictive for women with serious pregnancy complications and that the law must allow exceptions in which doctors would not be concerned about criminal charges.
But the injunction was immediately blocked by an appeal to the Texas Supreme Court, according to the state attorney general's office. Mangrum's ruling granted a temporary injunction preventing Texas from enforcing the ban against physicians who use"good faith judgment" to terminate a pregnancy that creates a risk of infection or is otherwise unsafe for the woman to continue because of complications.
"For the first time in a long time, I cried for joy when I heard the news," lead plaintiff Amanda Zurawski said in a statement."This is exactly why we did this. This is why we put ourselves through the pain and the trauma over and over again to share our experiences and the harms caused by these awful laws."
