Texas AG Paxton says he filed an appeal to reinstate 'fetal heartbeat' abortion law
Fox News
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton made a request to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday to restore Texas' ‘fetal heartbeat’ abortion law, which took effect last month.
"We got a ruling from the federal district judge that would stay that law from staying in effect, and we're challenging that and appealing that to the Fifth Circuit," Paxton said, referencing a ruling from a district court judge who issued a Temporary Restraining Order blocking the legislation, known as Texas Senate Bill 8, on Wednesday.
"I do think it will be successful," Paxton said of the appeal. "I think that duly elected representatives of people made the decision about how they wanted to address this, and I think the stay was premature. The judge hasn't really heard the merits of the case, so this needs to stay in effect until we have a chance to present our arguments in court."
