Tuesday’s ban will last until July 12, according to Harris County Attorney’s Office. The court has scheduled a hearing for that day. The providers filed the lawsuit Monday against a handful of local prosecutors, whose jurisdictions cover the locations of some of their clinics, as well as against some government officials, including Attorney General Ken Paxton, who may play a key role in enforcing it. . “This decision will allow the resumption of abortion services at many clinics across the state, connecting Texans with the much-needed health care they need,” said Marc Hearron, a senior adviser at the Center for Reproductive Rights involved in the case. . “Every hour that abortion is accessible to Texas is a victory.” Earlier, Paxton had issued an opinion following the US Supreme Court ruling on Friday, which told local prosecutors they could now prosecute before Roe.
