Texas abortion law: federal judge hears Biden administration's challenge.
The Guardian (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 80% • 4 min read
The suit seeks to land the first legal blow against the Texas law known as Senate Bill 8 (SB8), which thus far has withstood an early wave of requests to block it, including at the supreme court. The law, signed by the Republican governor, Greg Abbott, in May, prohibits abortions in Texas once embryonic cardiac activity is detected, usually around six weeks.
...
Lawmakers designed Texas's law to skirt judicial review by banning state officials from enforcing it. Instead, it deputizes private individuals to sue and seek a $10,000 penalty for anyone who aids a woman in obtaining an abortion, from doctors to cab drivers. The case is being heard by Robert Pitman, a US district judge and appointee of Barack Obama.
...
It is unclear how soon Pitman will decide. It is also unclear how quickly any of Texas's nearly two dozen abortion clinics would move to resume normal operations if the law is set aside. Texas officials would probably seek a swift reversal from the conservative fifth US circuit court of appeals, the same court which allowed the restrictions to take effect.
