A federal judge puts a pause on a recent law passed in texas that bans nearly all of abortions state wide. This law has been in the news a lot as it is a very questionable law in many people’s eyes. Judge Pitman said,  women have been unlawfully prevented from exercising control over their own lives in ways that are protected by the Constitution.” The group of people supporting the bill are unhappy with the judges decision as they feel the bill has saved “4,700 babies” in only a month. There will continue to be many court battles over this law and we will see in future whether it is considered constitutional or not.
The authors, Kattie Beener and Sabrina Tavernise, did a great job of explaining the situation going on in Texas. They gave important background information which made it easier to understand the situation going on. The authors also did a good job of explaining both sides of the argument. They used quotes from the judge who does not support the bill while also relaying information from people who do support the bill. Overall, the authors do a great job of using great detail and information to explain the situation going on in Texas. 

I feel this is news as the Texas abortion law has been a big topic since it was introduced around a month ago. This bill is very controversial and the final decision on it will have a major impact for the future. If the law is proven constitutional then the law may spread throughout many states in the United States. This story is important as it will have a major impact on Texas and depending on the decision could impact the rest of the country.
