According to The Epoch Times, the Republican-led state government of Greg Abbott will be placing a formal appeal to the decision made by an Obama-era District Judge to bow to pressure from the Biden regime to block the enforcement of SB 8, a bill passed by the Texas Legislature that went into effect last month.
“We disagree with the Court’s decision and have already taken steps to immediately appeal it to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, wrote on Twitter Thursday morning. “The sanctity of human life is, and will always be, a top priority for me.”

Indeed, this epic saga started shortly following the passage of Senate Bill 8 that bans abortions of foetuses who have detectable heartbeats, something that occurs around the sixth week of gestation. This bill stirred up quite a bit of opposition and butthurt amongst baby-killing aficionados for the crafty nature of its stipulations. The biggest source of butthurt was the clause that banned law enforcement from implementing any clause of the bill, instead reserving enforcement of this ban to the diligence of the citizens of Texas who wish to preserve life. This clause enabled the bill to circumvent the legal precedent set by Roe vs Wade.
