The Texas Supreme Court has ruled against the more-than-20 Texas women who sued the state over abortions they said were delayed or denied during medical emergencies because of the state’s bans on the procedure.
The justices unanimously struck down a lower court’s decision that would have exempted any Texan with a complicated pregnancy from the bans. Texas law already permits a life-saving abortion when a woman is at risk of death or significant physical harm, the state supreme court opined, and the trial court’s injunction “departed from the law as written without constitutional justification.”
