Texas abortion ruling cheered, slammed by rival groups

BBC Summary

A Trump-picked federal judge in Texas issues a hold on federal approval of abortion pill mifepristone.

But an hour later an Obama-picked judge in Washington state orders no changes to the drug's availability.

The Texas judge delays his ruling taking effect for seven days, and the US justice department says it will appeal.

Furious liberals call the Texas ruling "extreme" - anti-abortion groups say it's a victory for women and girls.

Abortion pills account for more than half of all pregnancy terminations in the US.
