AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Texas can enforce its new restrictive abortion law while it is appealed, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday as it overturned a lower court order.
The three-judge panel granted Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's request to lift an injunction that kept the state from enforcing a requirement that doctors who perform abortions have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic, The Dallas Morning News reported.
