Texas will allow abortions to resume following a legal battle over whether the Republican-governed state could enact a near-total ban on the procedure to preserve supplies of personal protective equipment during the coronavirus pandemic.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office said because the abortion providers challenging an earlier, stricter order by Abbott that expired on Tuesday have certified their compliance with the exemptions, there “is no case or controversy remaining.” In late March, Abbott issued an executive order aimed at addressing concerns about hospital capacity during the coronavirus pandemic by prohibiting medical procedures not immediately necessary.

Planned parenthood would obviously stops child exploitation as cheap labour, the use of child bearing girls ( Princess Diana) as incubators for male heirs. Life needs to be respected & the respect comes from compassionate sexual encounters. Not dominant assault or inequality.

If you stand with planned parenthood, there is no reason to reach the point of getting an abortion. Plan responsibly.

I stand with planned sex 😉 marriage

Wow and I thought the goal was to save lives! Convenience killing of posterity! Elected surgeries that kill!

Trying to put the brakes on a COVID-19 babyboom. I gather that Texas' economy cannot support a population increase then? Sharks smell blood in the H2O.

😢😢😢

I would be always surprised by the incoherence in our human societies. Only in US, We ask to more than 300 mil of people to stay home&save lives, and in the same time, we are eager to take lives.We are sending engines to Mars and are not able to have a human planned parenthood?

If u don’t want abortions spend the effort and the money to promote safe sex it’s not that hard or difficult is it

Hail Mary full of Grace The Lord is with Thee Blessed art Thou among women And blessed is the Fruit of Your Womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God Pray for us sinners now And at the hour of our death. Amen. 📿

This pandemic is a silver lining for some

I went to the Dr on March 3 and was referred to a specialists about a breast issue, sure would be nice if I could get into that specialist....but this is more important!?!?!!

Promote killing during a pandemic... pitiful

I think this is stupid

Yes 🙏

California should be ashamed of itself! May the bush fires burn California to ash!

God bless America!!! 👍👍👍🌹

It is already allowed

If Texas stands up for freedom, it should defend a woman's right to control her own body.
