Appeals court reinstates most of Texas' abortion restrictions

By Pete Williams, NBC News

New restrictions on abortions in Texas went into effect Thursday night after a federal appeals court lifted an order that would have blocked them.

One provision requires any doctor performing abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic. On Monday, a federal district court judge in Austin said the requirement places an undue burden on a woman seeking a legal abortion and adds no medical value. The women's groups challenging the law said it would force about a third of the 36 abortion clinics in Texas to shut down. The judge blocked the law the day before it was going to take effect.
