(KNX) — A Harris County judge has blocked a 1925 Texas abortion law which the state was going to enforce now that Roe v Wade has been overturned by the US Supreme Court.
The preliminary injunction will remain in effect until a hearing on July 12th.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed the lawsuit in Harris County late Monday.
"Attorney General Paxton wants to stop all abortion and is threatening unlawful prosecutions of abortion providers under an antiquated pre-Roe law. We won’t let him without a fight" the ACLU tweeted.
The ruling means, for now, abortions up to six weeks of pregnancy will resume.
The Texas law banning abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected is still in effect.
