A federal appeals court on Friday temporarily revived Texas’ restrictive abortion law, raising the possibility that abortion providers could be sued for any procedures performed in a two-day window when the law was blocked.
On Oct. 8, the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative stay of a federal judge’s Oct. 6 ruling that had blocked the law. The federal government has until Tuesday to respond to Texas’ request for a stay pending appeal that would keep the law intact for a longer time period.
The New York Times and the Texas Tribune are among the publications with coverage.
