The court had already put the law back into effect temporarily, but this order will last longer as the litigation plays out.
Texas’ near-total ban on abortion will stay in effect as the Justice Department’s legal challenge against it plays out, after a conservative appeals court issued a stay Thursday that blocks a lower court injunction of the law....
The appeals court, widely considered one of the most conservative in the country, had previously put Texas’ Senate Bill 8 the law from being enforced on October 7 while the Justice Department’s challenge to it works its way through the courts, in a ruling that stated that SB 8—which bans nearly all abortions after approximately six weeks and lets private citizens sue anyone who “aids and abets” an abortion—is an “offensive deprivation” of the “important” right to an abortion.
The 5th Circuit said the lower court’s injunction “grossly and irreparably interferes with Texas state-court operations” by blocking state lawsuits under SB 8, and said if SB 8 remained blocked, Texas would suffer “irreparable harm” because it “places state courts and their employees under imminent threat of contempt.”the appeals court of lasting consequences should the law be upheld despite it violating U.S.
