I hope so too, and yes, it does have the possibility of helping others, especially by forcing procedural loopholes into the law and also forcing the exception for complicated pregnancies that many people want.

But I just saw an article about a letter just issued by Ken Paxton saying that the judge’s ruling will not protect her, her husband, her doctors or her hospital from criminal charges if she goes ahead with the abortion. Note the URL: this is straight from his own office. (Just so you know, a TRO is a temporary restraining order and in this case it is the specific part of the judge’s ruling that allows this abortion, so when Paxton talks about the TRO in negative terms, he’s speaking directly of the judge’s ruling.)

I have dealt with real evil in my life. Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton are wholly amoral, and their actions look just as evil as those I have ever had to deal with. If they are forced to back down to save this lady’s health and future ability to bear children, they will try to find ways to punish anyone involved, because that’s what evil does. So this further update about how they will be criminally charged despite the judge’s order doesn’t really surprise me.
