BREAKING: US Supreme Court will let lawsuit challenging Texas’ near-total abortion ban proceed
Supreme Court says challenge to Texas’ near-total ban on abortion can proceed in lower level courts, though the law can remain in effect in the meantime
The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that Texas abortion providers can sue over the state’s near-total ban on abortions, but the justices are allowing the law to remain in effect. The move, which will send the challenge against the most restrictive abortion law in the nation back to a lower level court, can be seen as a victory for opponents of the law.
Under the law, abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy are prohibited, which is before many women know they are pregnant.Since past Supreme Court rulings have said states cannot prohibit abortion before the age of fetal viability, at around 24 weeks, Texas officials made it so that they were not responsible for enforcing the law.
Instead, the law delegates enforcement to anyone who chooses to sue a doctor performing an abortion, or people aiding in the procedure.Get your need-to-know latest news, feel-good stories, analysis and more
