A federal judge has ruled that part of the controversial Texas anti-abortion law is unconstitutional. According to the judge's ruling, two provisions of the law would unreasonably restrict access to abortion clinics. Lawyers for Planned Parent-hood and other abortion providers filed the lawsuit against the state of Texas, where restrictions are among the toughest in the nation. Attorney General Gregg Abbott has appealed the court's decision. Some legal analysts say the issue will probably wind up in the U-S Supreme Court.
