Texas Supreme Court Upholds Abortion Bans, Allows Lawsuit to Proceed
The court ruled that the state's medical exceptions are constitutionally sound, but plaintiffs can continue challenging the laws.
- The Texas Supreme Court unanimously upheld the state's near-total abortion bans, rejecting a significant legal challenge.
- The lawsuit, Zurawski v. Texas, involves over 20 women and two doctors affected by the bans.
- The court found that medical exceptions in the law are broad enough to withstand constitutional scrutiny.
- Plaintiffs argue that the laws have led to dangerous delays in medical care for complicated pregnancies.
- The court's decision does not block the lawsuit from continuing in a lower court.
