Biden administration urges judge to block Texas abortion law

Associated Press  

AUSTIN, Texas — The Biden administration on Friday urged a federal judge to block the nation’s most restrictive abortion law, which has banned most abortions in Texas since early September and sent women racing to get care beyond the borders of the second-most populous state. But even if the law is put on hold, abortion services in Texas may not instantly resume because doctors still fear that they could be sued without a more permanent legal decision. Texas knew this, but it wanted a six-week ban anyway, so the state resorted to an unprecedented scheme of vigilante justice that was designed to scare abortion providers and others who might help women exercise their constitutional rights,” Justice Department attorney Brian Netter told the court. Amy Hagstrom Miller, president of Whole Woman’s Health, said some of the 17 physicians at her four clinics are ready to resume normal abortion services if the law is put on hold.
