Trial begins over Texas’ ban on abortion procedure

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A federal trial over Texas’ new abortion law started Thursday in Austin.
It’s over Senate Bill 8, which lawmakers passed in the 85th legislative session. The measure being challenged bans “dismemberment abortions” and abortion providers argue it would effectively prevent them from performing dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortions. This is a procedure that doctors use on second-trimester pregnancies, which is typically after 15 weeks.
