Statist scum: Federal court blocks Tex. rule that could have closed most of state’s abortion clinics

A federal judge Friday blocked a Texas restriction set to take effect Monday that could have led to the closure of most of the abortion clinics in the state.

In a 21-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel ruled that the measure, which would have required clinics performing abortions to have hospital-like building features and equipment, put an undue burden on women seeking the procedure.

The ruling drew immediate praise from abortion rights advocates, who have logged a series of courtroom victories recently in their effort to block a wave of state laws severely restricting access to the procedure.

“The court has made clear that women’s well-being is not advanced by laws attacking access to essential health care, and that rights protected by the U.S. Constitution may not be denied through laws that make them impossible to exercise,” said Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights, the organization that challenged the restrictions, in a statement.

Lauren Bean, a spokeswoman for the Texas attorney general’s office, said the state would appeal. “The State disagrees with the court’s ruling and will seek immediate relief,” she said in a statement.
