Texas Abortion Law Struck Down

Texas Abortion Law Struck Down
http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/...932994.php

Quote:AUSTIN – A federal judge has struck down a key provision of Texas' new abortion law, blocking a statute set to go into effect Tuesday that required abortion providers to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.

U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel, in a 26-page order issued Monday, ruled the admitting privileges requirement is unconstitutional and poses an undue burden on women seeking an abortion.

The statute "does not bear a rational relationship to the legitimate right of the State in preserving and promoting fetal life or a woman's health and, in any event, places a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion of a nonviable fetus and is thus an undue burden to her," Yeakel wrote. "The court concludes that admitting privileges have no rational relationship to improved patient care."


Let the shrieking commence from the jesus shits!
