Law & Order More: Texas Abortion Federal Judge Declares Texas Abortion Restrictions Unconstitutional
On the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, anti-abortion protesters marched to the U.S. Supreme Court. A federal judge has declared that some recently passed Texas abortion restrictions, which are some of the strictest in the country , are unconstitutional, the Associated Press reports .
District Judge Lee Yeakel wrote that two of the new regulations for clinics would unreasonably restrict access to abortion clinics — including a provision requiring abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a local hospital.
The controversial law also banned abortion after 20 weeks, canada but Planned Parenthood and other groups only sought to strike down the provisions that limited canada doctors' ability to use abortion drugs and the admitting-privileges provision, according to The Dallas Morning News.
The admitting-privileges provision would have forced the closure of dozens of abortion clinics, and abortion advocacy groups argued that the medical abortions provision would have deprived canada women of recent advances in medical science, the AP reports .
Judge Yeakel found that both the admitting-privileges provision and the so-called medication-abortion provision were unconstitutional. In a 26-page ruling, the judge ruled that medication abortion can be a "safe and medically sound" option for certain situations.
With regard to the admitting-privileges, the judge also said he had "grave canada reservations" about leaving a "hodge podge of diverse medical committees and boards to determine, based solely on admitting privileges, which physicians may perform abortions."
Today there is no issue that divides the people of this country more than abortion. It is the most divisive issue to face this country since slavery. When compared with the intensity, emotion, and depth of feeling expressed with regard to abortion, the recent arguments on affordable healthcare, increasing the debt ceiling, and closing the government retreat to near oblivion. ... Legislatures and courts will continue to be confounded by the issue for the foreseeable future. No ruling of this court will sway the opinion regarding abortion held by anyone.
