NEW YORK, April 15 -- The Planned Parenthood Federation of America issued the following news release:
Late Monday night, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals backed down from its stay of a lower court's temporary restraining order that had protected access to medication abortions under Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's COVID-19 order banning "non-essential procedures." This means medication abortions -- a two-pill process -- will once again be available in Texas, for now.
