Federal Judge Rules Part of Texas' New Abortion Law is Unconstitutional

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/10/28/fed-judge-texas-abortion-limits-unconstitutional/



A federal judge today blocked part of a recently signed Texas law that requires doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.  District Justice Lee Yeakel wrote that the provision violates the rights of abortion doctors to do what they think is best for their patients and would unreasonably restrict a woman's access to abortion clinic.  Attorney General Greg Abbott filed an emergency appeal of Yeakel's order to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.  The proposed restrictions were among the toughest in the nation and gained notoriety when Democratic State Senator Wendy Davis launched a nearly 13-hour filibuster to stop the proposal in June.  The law bans all abortions at 20 weeks of pregnancy and in October 2014 requires all doctors to perform abortions in surgical facilities.

It's really tragic to see an activist judge in the name of Justice Yeakel violate God's law regarding human life.  Human life is no longer sacred in this society.  It has a price tag to it.  Justices like Yeakel pay no regard to the life of the unborn.  I hope that what Justice Yeakel blocked can be undone.  Only time will tell.  To read the full story, click on the above link from FoxNews.com.
