The Supreme Court of the United States has granted a temporary pause on a controversial Texas border law that allows private citizens to sue anyone who helps a woman obtain an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.

The law, known as Senate Bill 8, has faced criticism from reproductive rights advocates who argue that it effectively bans most abortions in the state. The court’s decision to pause the law while legal challenges proceed has been praised by those who oppose the measure.

Legal experts believe that the case could eventually make its way to the Supreme Court for a final ruling on the constitutionality of the law. In the meantime, the pause on enforcement will remain in place.
