TEXAS–(ENEWSPF)–August 4, 2014. Today marks the beginning of a four-day trial in the second challenge to Texas’ unconstitutional package of abortion restrictions intended to shutter clinics across the state. Federal district court Judge Lee Yeakel in Austin will hear arguments on the Center for Reproductive Rights’ challenge to the state’s requirement that every reproductive health care facility offering abortion services meet the same building requirements as an ambulatory surgical center (ASC), as well as the challenge to the law’s admitting privileges requirement on behalf of two of the hardest-hit clinics in the state.
