A Texas judge ruled that the state’s abortion ban has proven too restrictive for women with serious pregnancy complications and must allow exceptions without doctors fearing the threat of criminal charges
AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas judge ruled Friday the state’s abortion ban has proven too restrictive forand must allow exceptions without doctors fearing the threat of criminal charges.
”The trial court’s injunction is ineffective, and the status quo remains in effect,” spokesperson Paige Willey said in an email. that prevents Texas from enforcing the ban against physicians who in their “good faith judgment" end a pregnancy that, because of complications, creates a risk of infection or is otherwise unsafe for the woman to continue.
Mangrum’s decision said the injunction would run until the completion of the case, which is scheduled for a trial to begin next March 25. The challenge to the state law is believed to be the first in the U.S. brought by women who have been denied abortions since the Supreme Court last year , which for nearly 50 years had affirmed the constitutional right to an abortion.
However, they were delayed or denied access to such care because of widespread uncertainty about the impact on physicians, the ruling said.
