A Texas clinic has resumed providing abortions to women who are more than six weeks pregnant after a federal judge temporarily blocked a state law restricting the procedure.

In a blistering opinion, US District Judge Robert Pitman issued a preliminary injunction halting enforcement of the Texas law known as Senate Bill 8 , which bans abortion after six weeks, before many women even know they are pregnant.

"SB8 left our patients with two choices: carry a pregnancy to term against their will or travel out of state to receive care," it said. "This ban hurt Texans and now we can help them." "That other courts may find a way to avoid this conclusion is theirs to decide; this court will not sanction one more day of this offensive deprivation of such an important right," Judge Pitman said.

The Supreme Court cited procedural issues when it decided by a 5-4 vote last month against intervening to block the Texas law. It did not rule on the merits of the case brought by abortion providers.
