Texas Scorecard by Brandon Waltens March 30, 2020

The ban on nonessential procedures was designed to save medical resources for those fighting the Chinese coronavirus.

Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton made waves last week when they announced that, under an emergency executive order barring nonessential medical procedures in order to shore up resources to combat the Chinese coronavirus, abortions would be ceased across the state.

On Monday, however, an Austin judge put that plan to a halt.

After Planned Parenthood and other abortionists in Texas challenged the restriction, U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel issued a temporary restraining order allowing abortion mills to reopen and continue operating until at least April 13.

“Regarding a woman’s right to a pre-fetal-viability abortion, the Supreme Court has spoken clearly. There can be no outright ban on such a procedure,” said Yeakel.

1. It's not an "outright ban", it's temporary.

2. Now apply this reasoning to churches.

3. Now apply this reasoning to gun stores.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Fifth Circuit Upholds Texas Coronavirus Abortion Ban Amid Planned Parenthood Lawsuit
BY TYLER O'NEIL MARCH 31, 2020
Quote
On Tuesday, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a temporary stay, allowing the state of Texas to temporarily close abortion facilities to preserve personal protective equipment (PPE) amid the coronavirus crisis. States across the country have ordered a pause on non-essential surgical procedures that use PPE, like most abortions. The Texas ban does not apply to abortions necessary to save the life of the mother. Planned Parenthood and other abortion facilities filed a lawsuit against Texas, leading to a district court to issue a temporary stay on the order.

The Fifth Circuit stayed the district court's order to delay the policy.

Planned Ghoulhood, meet hammer.

Texas AG Paxton has won this, so far.

We have made a tremendous inroad when the courts have reduced abortion as a 'non-essential' medical service.

The left knows this and will still fight for its mandatory acceptance.
