The Texas Supreme Court reversed a lower court on Friday evening and allowed a pre-Roe 1925 law prohibiting abortions to go into effect.
The state supreme court’s order is the latest addition in an ongoing feud between Texas government officials and abortion providers following the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Although the 1925 law prohibiting abortions was not enforced after Roe was decided in 1973, the law remained on the books. A Harris County judge temporarily blocked the abortion ban after abortion clinics sued. The abortion clinics argued the law was effectively repealed when the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade, but the Texas Supreme Court disagreed and allowed the pre-Roe ban to go into effect.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton applauded the court’s decision as a “Pro-life victory!”
“Pro-life victory! Thanks to my appeal, SCOTX has slapped down the abortion providers and the district court carrying their water,” Paxton tweeted. “Our state’s pre-Roe statutes banning abortion in Texas are 100% good law. Litigation continues, but I’ll keep winning for Texas’s unborn babies.”

God is on the move.
God bless Texas Thank You Lord !
Satan takes a kick in the teeth.
Excellent!
Don’t mess with Texas!
That’s six words.
Step by step.
Now prosecute all women and doctors who murdered babies since 1973 or until the statute of limitations. Roe v. Wade never made the action of abortion legal. It just stopped states from enforcing their law.
...and the quickest way to get rid of “liberals”. Coincidence?
There is no sol on murder.
