Texas state sues federal government over Biden administration’s order to hospitals to provide abortions if the procedure is necessary even in states where local law bans it
About two dozen US states are expected to severely restrict or outright ban and criminalise abortions, forcing women to travel long distances to states that still permit the procedure.
The lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is the latest salvo in the legal frenzy which has erupted since the Supreme Court ruled last month that individual US states can ban or restrict abortion. "When a state law prohibits abortion and does not include an exception for the life and health of the pregnant person... that state law is preempted," HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a letter to health care providers.'Biden will be forced to comply decision'
"The Biden Administration seeks to transform every emergency room in the country into a walk-in abortion clinic," Paxton said in a statement.
