US Justice Department vows to protect women in Texas seeking abortions
The US Justice Department has promised to use its federal powers to protect people seeking or clinics performing abortions in Texas, where highly restrictive legislation on voluntary pregnancy terminations has been adopted.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement on Monday his department "will provide support from federal law enforcement when an abortion clinic or reproductive health center is under attack."
Mr Garland said the department had already "reached out" to prosecutors and Federal Bureau of Investigation field offices in Texas "to discuss our enforcement authorities."
