Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Texas urged the Supreme Court on Thursday to reject the Justice Department's request to block the state's restrictive abortion law, stating the Biden administration has no standing to challenge it.

The state's attorney general, Ken Paxton, filed its response to the Justice Department's Monday request for the Supreme Court to block the law, the most restrictive in the country, after an appeals court days earlier ruled against the Biden administration and allow it to stand.
