Abortion rights groups sue Texas over procedure ban

Published on July 20, 2017 under CommunityImpact

Editor’s note: This story has been updated to include Attorney General Ken Paxton’s comment and identify the lawsuit’s lead plaintiff Texas is heading to court over a state law going into effect in September banning the most common second-trimester abortion procedure.   The Center for Reproductive Rights and Planned Parenthood announced on Thursday they’re suing over a provision in Texas’ Senate Bill 8 bill that outlaws dilation and evacuation abortions. In that procedure, a doctor uses surgical instruments to grasp and remove pieces of fetal tissue. SB 8 only allows the procedure to be done if the fetus is deceased.Via Texas Tribune
