FILED

Texas& #39;s response defending its temporary ban on abortion amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Lots of the same, but a few things to point out:

- Texas argues that there is no Supreme Court precedent that would prohibit the state from banning -- or as Texas says, delaying -- abortion services.

The filing argues that Supreme Court precedent does not cover how to handle a global pandemic.

- Texas also argues that the coalition of abortion rights groups that brought this lawsuit doesn& #39;t have standing.

In other words, clinics aren& #39;t allowed to legally challenge state laws on behalf of their patients.
