Texas asked a federal appeals court in New Orleans for an emergency order blocking a U.S. judge’s ruling yesterday in Austin striking down some state abortion restrictions as it seeks to enforce new limits on the procedure that were set to take effect today.
The state asked the appeals court to temporarily block the Austin judge’s order, which throws out a law requiring doctors to have hospital admitting privileges within 30 miles of where they perform abortions.
