“A global pandemic is no time to restrict time-sensitive health care,” she said. “Gov. Abbott’s extreme ideology is risking the health of women in Texas. This is politics at its absolute worst.” What did the courts say? On March 30, U.S. District Court Judge Lee Yeakel blocked the state’s attempt at clinic closures on the grounds that patients denied the ability to terminate unwanted pregnancies would “suffer serious and irreparable harm.” Suspending abortion services, Yeakel wrote, “amounts to a pre-viability ban,” violating the terms laid out in Roe v. Wade.
On April 9, Yeakel issued a temporary restraining order blocking parts of the interim abortion ban. Per Yeakel’s decision, medication abortion became — fleetingly — available again, while patients who risked running up against gestational limits before April 22 were also allowed to move ahead with termination.
