Anti-abortion Doctor Affirms Texas' Ban: "The Law is Clear"

An anti-abortion doctor testified in support of Texas' abortion ban during a hearing over a lawsuit filed against the state. The doctor argued that the law is clear and that doctors who believe they cannot provide proper care misunderstand it. Two out-of-state physicians testified for the plaintiffs, stating that Texas' abortion laws are confusing and would hinder necessary care. A pregnant OB-GYN who had to travel out of state for an abortion also testified, expressing feeling abandoned by the state. The ongoing lawsuit alleges that Texas' abortion laws put women's lives at risk. Closing arguments were made, and the judge stated that it would take several weeks to make a ruling.
