Abortion Providers Win Order to Stop Group Enforcing Texas Law

[George II]

Texas abortion providers won a temporary restraining order against Texas Right to Life and its associates Friday, blocking them from suing providers and health care workers at Planned Parenthood health centers in the state under a new law.

Planned Parenthood sued the anti-abortion group in state court to stop the group from enforcing Texas’ new six-week abortion ban.

Texas’ six-week law creates a “probable, irreparable, and imminent injury in the interim” for Planned Parenthood, its physicians, staff, and patients throughout Texas, Judge Maya Guerra Gamble of the Texas District Court for Travis County wrote in the temporary restraining order.

Providers would have no adequate legal remedy for that injury if they’re subjected to private enforcement lawsuits against them, Gamble said.

1. Old enough to remember the bombings in the 80s at planned parenthood cntrs and other facilities

[Deuxcents]

7. And the murders of providers

Fatal shootings of 3 at a PP clinic in Colorado Springs .. 2015
Dr David Gunn Pensacola, Fl shot in the back 3 times 1994
George Tiller Wichita, Ks 2009
Since 1997 there have been 8 murders, 17 attempted murders, multiple bombings and 186 arsons targeted at clinics. These are not children of god. These are homegrown terrorists. There are more statistics that make me sick. I don’t like a lot of things but by god, I don’t resort to violence n neither do most of us but these are the kind of people out there who are willing to do the most violent of acts against those they disagree with. We have a very violent foe on this issue. I’m just talking about THIS issue

[PortTack]

9. Yes... I remember some of those as well.

I think we all thought things were crazy then...now it’s even worse

[calimary]

11. So do I. Abortion provider shot and killed by a "pro-life" asshole.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

“Pro-life” MY ASS!!!

[MyOwnPeace]

16. You got THAT right, Cali....

What kind of sick F**k murders a Doctor who provided a patient her right to choose?

Funny how the RIGHT'S 'care for the unborn' ends when the baby first sees daylight......

[calimary]

22. The LAST thing they are is the "pro-life" party.

More like the Death Panel party. Let's steal a talking point from Sarah-the-Idiot Palin and really make it mean something that's actually true and reflecting of reality.

23. What they are is anti sex for women

Men can enjoy themselves as much as they want, but a woman who gets pregnant has to pay a price.

2. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

3. YES! nt

[The Unmitigated Gall]

4. This being Talibexastan

Judge Gamble now needs a heavily armed security detail.

[niyad]

5. Excellent

[wnylib]

6. YES!

[SouthernDem4ever]

8. Too bad the SCOTUS was too stupid to block this really bad law

Can they be impeached?

[Polybius]

13. No Justice has ever been impeached for a bad decision

Nor will they ever.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

30. Sure, they can be impeached,

what do you think the odds of that actually happening are?

[Comfortably_Numb]

10. From Chris Hayes tonight ....."intends to engage in the conduct"...

The right wing sex- predator/ fundamentalist catholic majority has just authorized the Department of Pre-crimes..Texas sux.

[gab13by13]

12. The judge put an injunction

on the enforcement, 10k bounty on people getting abortions. The stay does not stop the 6 week abortion ban, just how it is enforced.

[Pinback]

21. Thanks for the clarification. (nt)

[wryter2000]

24. True, but without enforcement

There is no law.

26. This

14. This is the judge who is handling the Alex Jones case

I watched part of the sanctions/motion for default judgment hearing on Tuesday

Link to tweet

[George II]

15. Interesting, thanks for the information!!!!!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

20. I watched the last half hour of a hearing on Tuesday

Jones' attorney was not having fun. Mark Bankston (Juanita Jean's son) did a great job in this hearing

[LetMyPeopleVote]

37. It was a fun hearing to watch

I got to watch part of the hearing and judge was not happy with with Jones and his current attorney and hinted that another attorney would not be likely to be admitted. Susan Bankston got to watch the entire hearing and she was pleased
https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2021/09/01/sandy-hook-parents-texas-judge-sanction-alex-jones-infowars/5662371001/

On Tuesday, their lawyer appeared before state District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble in Austin to argue that Jones must be sanctioned for violating rules on pretrial discovery, as well as previous court orders, by withholding vital information that was first requested in 2018.

"We still don't have the most basic information about this case," lawyer Mark Bankston told the judge, arguing that Jones has failed to provide a wide range of requested evidence, including video of his on-air discussions about Sandy Hook, relevant transcripts and the content of social media accounts.......

Because the pattern of abuse was so egregious, Bankston argued, the parents should be able to skip next year's trials on whether Jones defamed them and proceed directly to determining how much money they're owed in damages.

Bankston also asked the judge to find Jones in contempt of court for violating previous orders to provide the requested information.

17. THAT is FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC!!!!!

So refreshing to see that there is actually some judicial response to something so fundamentally anchored in actual 'legal shit!'

Thanks, Judge!

[mopinko]

27. she most def needs protection.

hope SHE is armed and dangerous.

[Marcuse]

18. Yeah, right.

[totodeinhere]

19. How long will it take the Supreme Court to overturn this ruling? n/t

[ananda]

28. Till the middle of the night?

???

[totodeinhere]

29. I started to laugh at your comment but then I caught myself.

This is no laughing matter.

[LeftInTX]

32. It's state injunction..won't go to USSC

I can't figure out if the State of Texas has standing to appeal..LOL...After all it's between two private parties..LOL

TRTL will appeal...The appeals court will side with the District Court (Democratic)

TRTL will then appeal to the Texas State Supreme Court, where the injunction will be overturned (Republican)

[totodeinhere]

33. Yes, the Supreme Court cannot overrule it at this stage.

First it has to go all the way to the Texas Supreme Court, then whatever decision they make can be taken to the US Supreme Court.

[LeftInTX]

34. I don't know if they can send to the US Supreme Court or not...

I know local governments have not been able to appeal state supreme court rulings...

But who knows....

25. K&R

35. Too bad a TX District Court judge

has to school the US S. Ct. on US constitutional law.
