Texas abortion ban to remain in place despite heavy pushback
(KYMA, KECY/ CNN) - A federal appeals court is once again allowing Texas to continue banning most abortions in their state law.
The decision Thursday night keeps the law known as "Senate Bill 8" in place even though the Justice Department tries to halt the law.
The Biden Administration is suing Texas over the restrictions that ban abortions once cardiac activity is detected which is usually around six weeks.
Thursday's decision marks the third time that the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of appeals has sided with Texas and let the restrictions stand.
The Texas law makes no exceptions for pregnancies caused by rape or incest.
