Texas abortion law struck down

(CBS DETROIT) — An Oakland County Circuit judge on Friday granted a preliminary injunction that blocks prosecutors from enforcing Michigan’s 1931 abortion ban.

Wade.

close Video Republican Joe O’Dea responds to abortion attack ad in Colorado Senate race NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! DENVER – On the day political handicappers shifted the Colorado Senate race into a more winnable zone for Republicans, Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet released an attack ad that bewildered GOP nominee Joe O'Dea's campaign. Bennet released an ad Thursday attempting to paint O'Dea as someone who wants to ban all abortion. However, O'Dea, to the chagrin of some Colorado Republicans , is far more pro-choice than much of his party. "Michael Bennet has always fought for a woman's right to make her own healthcare decisions, but Joe O'Dea opposes the law protecting abortion access in Colorado," one Coloradan said in Bennet's ad. "O'Dea would have voted to confirm Trump's Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade," another person says. "It's just not true," O'Dea said of Bennet's ad in an exclusive … [Read more...] about Colorado Senate shakeup: Joe O’Dea responds to Sen. Bennet’s abortion attack ad as Democrat loses steam

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan judge on Friday blocked county prosecutors from enforcing the state’s 1931 ban on abortion for the foreseeable future after two days of witness testimony from abortion experts, providers and the state’s chief medical officer. The ruling comes after the state Court of Appeals said earlier this month that county prosecutors were not covered by a May order and could enforce the prohibition following the fall of Roe v. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court. “The harm to the body of women and people capable of pregnancy in not issuing the injunction could not be more real, clear, present and dangerous to the court,” Oakland County Judge Jacob Cunningham said during his ruling Friday. David Kallman, an attorney representing two Republican county prosecutors, said an appeal is planned. “The judge ignored all of the clear legal errors and problems in this case, it appears to me, simply because the issue is abortion,” Kallman told The Associated Press … [Read more...] about Judge: Prosecutors cannot enforce Michigan’s abortion ban

EAGLE PASS, Texas — The banks of the Rio Grande were flush with Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and Texas Army National Guard posted locally. Simultaneously, soldiers in patrol boats traversed the Rio Grande hoping to deflect migrant crossings away from the city. Thursday’s show of force appeared to push the larger migrant groups away, at least temporarily. Breitbart Texas looked on as DPS troopers placed vehicles side by side to block gaps in a “steel curtain” border wall installed under Operation Lone Star. Despite the efforts, some smaller migrant groups moved down river and still chose to ford the river. The smaller migrant groups immediately surrendered to soldiers. The migrants were ultimately turned over to responding Border Patrol agents. Eagle Pass has seen an increase in migrant apprehensions in recent months and now leads the nation as the border city with the most migrant crossings. As reported by Breitbart Texas, nearly 700 migrants forded the Rio … [Read more...] about Texas Authorities Crowd Border City Riverbank to Block Migrants
