Federal judge to wait at least two weeks before ruling on DOJ's emergency request to block Texas abortion law

The judge's order means that the law will remain in place for now.
Just after the judge's move, the department asked him to move more aggressively and hold a hearing on September 20 to decide whether the law should be blocked even on a temporary basis.
