Appeal court upholds Texas requirement that abortion doctors have admitting privileges

Houston Chronicle:
A federal appeals panel on Thursday overturned a lower court decision that had deemed a portion of Texas' controversial sweeping abortion restrictions as unconstitutional. 
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had already temporarily lifted a district court injunction that blocked a state provision requiring abortion doctors to get admitting privileges at nearby hospitals from going into effect.

Thursday's ruling gives Texas the green light to continue enforcing the provision on a permanent basis.

This is another blow to the pro abortion side and is also a rejection of theposition taken by Wnedy Davis in her fight against the requirements.
