On Friday, the Supreme Court agreed to hear two cases challenging Texas's abortion ban—but refused to block the law while it considers the case, leaving Texans without access to safe, legal abortion health care. Oral arguments are set for November 1.
Roe v. WadeBut 48 hours later, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Judge Pitman’s order. The Justice Department immediately filed an appeal asking the Supreme Court to bypass the appeals court—which has already denied two requests to halt the law—to hear arguments in the case now and issue a final ruling instead of an interim order. The Center for Reproductive Rights made a similar request in their case.
“By refusing once again to block Texas’s horrific abortion ban, the Supreme Court is sending an alarming signal that it will stand idly by while our reproductive rights are violated, a reality Texans are too familiar with after living under the nation’s most extreme abortion ban for nearly two months,” said Brigitte Amiri, deputy director of the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project.
“The legal limbo is excruciating for both patients and our clinic staff,” said Amy Hagstrom Miller, president and CEO of Whole Woman’s Health and Whole Woman’s Health Alliance. “Lack of access to safe abortion care is harming our families and communities and will have lasting effects on Texas for decades to come. We’ve had to turn hundreds of patients away since this ban took effect, and this ruling means we’ll have to keep denying patients the abortion care that they need and deserve.
