A federal judge has once again cleared the way for some abortions to resume in Texas despite the governor's order restricting them during the coronavirus outbreak.
Judge Lee Yeakel blocked the state from enforcing the order specifically"as a categorical ban on all abortions provided by Plaintiffs" and specifically against those providing medication abortions or providing surgical abortions to abortion-seekers who would reach 22 weeks since their last menstrual period -- the cutoff to receive an abortion in Texas -- by the order's expiration on April 21.
