Texas judge blocks enforcement of Biden emergency abortion guidance

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : While Hendrix declined to block the guidance nationwide, the injunction halts enforcement within Texas or against members of the Christian Medical and Dental Association and American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
44% : Citing the Supreme Court's June 24 decision in Dobb, Hendrix said the states now have the authority to regulate abortion.
42% : House Bill 1280 takes effect 30 days after the formal entry of the Supreme Court's judgment in Dobbs, overturning nearly 50 years of a federal right to abortion.
40% : The ruling comes a day before Texas' trigger law banning abortion goes into effect.
38% : As a reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization eliminating the constitutional right to abortion, President Joe Biden signed an executive order directing the Department of Health and Human Services to safeguard access to abortion by issuing the guidance.
37% : While the trigger law is set to take effect Thursday, abortion providers and rights groups have already ceased offering or aiding someone in getting the procedure out of fear of being prosecuted under a 1925 law banning abortion.
