Department Of Justice Files Lawsuit Against Texas "Heartbeat Abortion Ban"

From Associated Press & Axios - The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Texas, asserting that the recently passed abortion law, which bans abortions once a heartbeat is detected, is in open defiance of the Constitution.

The lawsuit comes after Attorney General Merrick Garland promised to "protect those seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services."
