The clinic first sought a license six months ago and believed its efforts would be further helped by a June 29 Supreme Court ruling that suspended parts of Texas' abortion restrictions, which were approved in 2013 and are among the most-stringent in the nation. U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel provided that Monday, ordering Texas not to enforce a rule that clinics must meet hospital-like surgical standards that could delay the license for the El Paso clinic — and decreeing that state officials could be held in contempt of court for failure to comply. Department of State Health Services spokeswoman Carrie Williams said she didn't know how long it will take to issue the clinic's license. A second abortion provider in El Paso, Hilltop Women's Reproductive Clinic, has already reopened amid the legal wrangling — at least temporarily.
