The ruling by a unanimous panel of fifth US circuit court of appeals comes amid a wave of lawsuits focusing on abortion exceptions

The US government cannot enforce federal guidance in Texas requiring emergency room doctors to perform abortions if necessary to stabilize emergency room patients, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday, siding with the state in a lawsuit accusing Joe Biden’s administration of overstepping its authority.

The ruling by a unanimous panel of the fifth US circuit court of appeals comes amid a wave of lawsuits focusing on when abortions can be provided in states whose abortion bans have exceptions for medical emergencies.

    Encouraging the rule of law when it’s applied to others, but being all about “individual freedom” and expecting special treatment when the law is applied to me. That’s what hypocrites do.

    What I want are fair laws that are applied evenly to everyone. Then, at least I know that the system is just and reasonable, even if I personally don’t like the outcome of a particular case.
