'Women have been unlawfully prevented from exercising control over their lives in ways that are protected by the Constitution,' judge says in ruling.
A federal judge granted the Justice Department a temporary injunction late Wednesday, blocking the enforcement of Texas' strict abortion law.
Pitman also said the Texas Legislature “contrived an unprecedented and transparent statutory scheme” to enact a near-total ban on abortions in the state. Lawyers for the Texas Attorney General's Office have maintained that the law is constitutional and had asked Pitman to deny the request for a preliminary injunction.
“The fight has only just begun, both in Texas and in many states across this country where women’s rights are currently under attack,” her statement continued. “That’s why the President supports codifying Roe v. Wade, why he has directed a whole-of-government response to S.B. 8, and why he will continue to stand side-by-side with women across the country to protect their constitutional rights.
“The people of Texas speaking through their state legislators acted to protect unborn children with beating hearts, who are as human as you and me,” said the group’s president Marjorie Dannenfelser. “It is time to restore this right to the people and update our laws.”
