The Justice Department is asking a federal court in Texas to issue a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction against a new state law that bans most abortions in Texas.
The Justice Department has asked a federal court in Texas to stop the enforcement of a new state law that bans most abortions in the state while it decides the case.
The law went into effect earlier this month after the Supreme Court declined an emergency appeal from abortion providers asking that the law be stayed. The department made a similar argument in seeking the restraining order or temporary injunction and said that its challenge would probably be successful.
Under the Texas law, someone could bring a lawsuit — even if the person had no connection to the woman getting an abortion — and could be entitled to at least $10,000 in damages if the case prevailed in court.
