Texas abortion providers and abortion funds ceased operations in the state on Friday for fear of being criminally charged under state laws that pre-date Roe v. Wade.

Texas abortion providers and abortion funds ceased operations in the state on Friday for fear of being criminally charged under state laws that pre-date Roe v. Wade.
A ban in effect before Roe v. Wade cannot be used, as threatened last week by Attorney General Ken Paxton, according to a judge’s ruling Tuesday. However, the stopgap measure will, at most, extend abortion access in the state for two months.
