JUST FILED
Texas says its abortion ban is over.
The state& #39;s AG office in a new legal filing says the new Executive Order suspends some medical procedures, but abortion is exempt and can resume.
Texas says its abortion ban is over.
The state& #39;s AG office in a new legal filing says the new Executive Order suspends some medical procedures, but abortion is exempt and can resume.
Here’s why:
Texas’ abortion providers argued the new Executive Order suspending some medical procedure didn’t apply to them because:
1. They don’t take up hospital beds
2. They wouldn’t ask for publicly sourced PPE
In a somewhat surprising move, Texas agreed.

Usual "I& #39;m not a lawyer disclaimer":
In reading this, Texas seems to be creating a distinction between the original Executive Order and this new one. Perhaps implying that if and when there& #39;s a problem abortion providers will need to go through this entire legal process again.

Would love if an *actual* lawyer can weigh in on this!
