President Biden’s Justice Department sued the state of Texas on Thursday to try to block the nation’s most restrictive abortion law, which bans the procedure as early as six weeks into pregnancy and allows private citizens to take legal action against anyone who helps a woman terminate her pregnancy.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has scheduled an afternoon news conference to announce the lawsuit filed in federal court in Austin.
