A Bit Of Sanity, Out Of Texas... Abortion Remains Lawful.


We discussed this in recent comments. But it is trending in the right direction. . . .

It seems clearer thinking has prevailed. As a practical matter, this keeps abortions available in Texas, during COVID-19 pandemic flattening orders [ones Texas Governor Abbott used, in part, to try to stop abortions].

It is now unlikely the Supremes will need to act on this record:

. . . .In an unsigned order on Monday night, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit allowed medication abortions to go forward — the same relief that Planned Parenthood had sought in the Supreme Court — while litigation over the near-total ban on abortions in Texas continues. The ruling by the three-judge panel expressed “serious concerns” about whether the district court had sufficiently considered, for example, the “emergency public health measures” that prompted the executive order by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. . . .


Onward, with smallish good news, wherever I might find it. . . smile.
