The court's ruling is only temporary, and briefings on whether to extend it are expected to be filed over the coming days.

Representatives for Planned Parenthood and the Texas governor's office did not return requests for comment.

In a press release, Alexis McGill Johnson, the acting president and CEO of Planned Parenthood, called the decision"a nightmare inside of a nightmare." "One day patients are called back for their procedures, the next day they are canceled — all at the whim of Gov. Abbott," she added."Abortion is essential because it is time-sensitive. It cannot wait for lengthy legal battles or a pandemic to pass. This political game will have a lasting consequence on Texans for generations to come."
