In-LastMinute-Save-Texas-Abortion-Clinics-Can-ReOpen - Newsy Story
The U.S. Supreme Court has put a hold on a ruling that would have closed all but eight abortion clinics in Texas. That order stems from a 2013 law enforcing stricter conditions on abortion clinics statewide.
KXAN: "The law required abortion clinics to meet hospital-like building standards. Those standards meant all but a handful of clinics in the state had to close."
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court halted those requirements and others from a federal appeals court ruling, which also said doctors performing abortions must be able to admit patients at nearby hospitals — only clinics in McAllen and El Paso are exempt from that part of the ruling.
