Appeals Court Keeps Texas Abortion Ban in Place
-----------------------------------------------

A federal appeals court has ruled to keep Texas's near-total ban on
abortions in place. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals extended a stay on
a federal judge's ruling last week that blocked the ban, deeming it
unconstitutional. The two judges on the three-judge panel who voted
Thursday to keep the law in place were appointed by George W. Bush and
Donald Trump.
