AUSTIN, Texas (CBSDFW.COM/CBS NEWS) – A federal judge halted Texas’s temporary ban on abortion on Monday afternoon, allowing the procedure to resume despite the state’s suspension of “non-essential” procedures, which explicitly included pregnancy termination.

Send the Texas Rangers to block the “clinics” and force a Constitutional showdown.

Adopt the kid away. Have a change of heart. Leave at orphanage steps. “Irreperable harm”?

I’ve said this before, great but there will be no masks or PE because they are needed by the epidemic and no ventilators either

Are they performing these abortions without masks, gloves, and gowns?

Abortion is big business. Perhaps President Trump should nationalize them to — I dunno — make more ventilators (although they’re at the opposite end of the “protection of human health spectrum”)

Yeakel’s there “go to guy” on abortion issues. If this stands,any order given by the Governor is subject to judicial review.

This idiot judge refers to women who choose to murder their unborn... “patients”?? And sympathize with them claiming they might suffer irreparable harm??

And what about the irreparable murder to the babies??

A GW appointee...

Earl Leroy Yeakel III

Assumed office
July 29, 2003
Appointed by George W. Bush

On October 28, 2013, Yeakel ruled that abortion restrictions enacted by the state of Texas were unconstitutional.

Some day they’ll find out God exists, that He is the creator then they’ll know they’re wrong.

Maybe the depraved have reached majority and God is just done with all of this and this is His plan. This reckoning

The baby killing and all that goes with it is such a evil massive practice.

Trump just blew off a question about abortions killing babies at PP, when the money could be used to help the pandemic. He had a chance to really stand up for life, but was stumped by the question and didn’t really know how to answer it.

Federal judge has no standing. No constitutional protection for abortion.
