(WBAP/KLIF) — A federal appeals court says Texas can now ban medication abortions as part of the state’s emergency effort to fight the spread of the Coronavirus.
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, last week, temporarily blocked the state’s prohibition on medication abortions. But the panel of three justices voted in favor of the Lone Star State’s ban in a 2-1 decision.
The court ruled the state was within its rights to ban abortion procedures in an effort to preserve PPE supplies such as masks, gowns and other protective medical gear.
