A US federal appeals court temporarily reinstates nation’s strictest abortion law, letting Texas resume ban on most abortions

A US appeals court has temporarily reinstated Texas's restrictive abortion law, which bars the procedure as early as six weeks into pregnancy and outsources enforcement of the ban to ordinary citizens. The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, a conservative-leaning intermediate appeals court, granted a request on Friday by the Texas Attorney General's Office to temporarily suspend a judge’s order blocking the abortion ban.
The administrative stay from the Fifth Circuit, a conservative-leaning appeals court, came in a lawsuit brought by the US Justice Department on September 9. The purpose of the administrative stay is to give the court time to determine whether to issue a more permanent ruling. A three-judge Fifth Circuit panel gave the Justice Department until Tuesday to respond to Texas's filings.
