Judge blocks Obama care rules on transgender and abortion services
A federal judge in Texas issued an injunction halting an Obama administration policy expanding Affordable Care Act protections to transgender health care and abortion services. The ruling sides with Texas and eight other states plus Christian groups, citing likely success on claims under the Administrative Procedure Act and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. It pauses enforcement one day before the policy would take effect. The judge previously blocked a separate Obama policy on transgender students using restrooms. It was unclear if an appeal would follow.
