(MENAFN) According to NPR, a ban on a second-trimester abortion procedure that has been carried out in Texas has been overturned on Wednesday by a federal judge.
In August, a temporary injunction has been issued by US District Judge Lee Yeakel in order to block the ban on "dilation and evacuation abortions" which was passed as a response to a Supreme Court verdict that blocked the state from restricting abortion.
The ruling that took place on Wednesday follows that injunction and closes the deal on key Texas Republicans that include governor of the state Greg Abbott.
