A U.S. judge on Thursday said some abortions can continue in Texas while the state battles the CCP virus pandemic, dealing a new legal setback to officials attempting to dramatically restrict access to the medical procedure.
U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel in Austin said Texas officials violated the U.S. Constitution by classifying abortion providers as covered by a state order that required postponement of non-urgent medical procedures to preserve hospital beds and equipment during the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, pandemic.
