Texas abortion providers' attorneys are exploring different legal options to try to remain in business beyond two weeks. Another hearing on the state’s pre-Roe abortion ban is scheduled for July 12.
TEXAS — Abortions of pregnancies up to six weeks can resume at some Texas clinics, but not for long. Providers cleared a legal hurdle Tuesday when a state judge temporarily blocked the enforcement of a nearly century-old Texas abortion ban. But Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton argued the old law went back into effect when the Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to an abortion last week.
“It’s really important to be honest now, and say that there is always a chance that this will change again, and just make sure they understand that,” Gallegos said. "It is emotional, you know, we have some that are very grateful that they’re able to come back, and that we’ve reached out to them again, and some, you know, that have already made arrangements out of state."
The judge ruled on a push by Paxton to enforce the century-old abortion ban. He disagreed with the ruling and tweeted the pre-Roe law is constitutional. Paxton went on to say, “The judge’s decision is wrong. I’m immediately appealing.” Wendy Davis, the former Democratic state senator who led a 13-hour filibuster to block a bill restricting abortion access in the state nearly a decade ago, says even a temporary reprieve can help.

Abortions can resume in Texas after judge blocks pre-Roe v. Wade ban(Reuters) -Abortions can resume in Texas after a judge on Tuesday blocked officials from enforcing a nearly century-old ban the state's Republican attorney general said was back in effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to the procedure nationwide. The temporary restraining order by Judge Christine Weems in Harris County came in a last-ditch bid by abortion providers to resume services after the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that guaranteed the right of women to obtain abortions. The order allows clinics to resume services, for now, in a state where abortion was already severely restricted to only up to six weeks of pregnancy under a Texas law that took effect in September that the U.S. Supreme Court declined to block.
