A coalition of Texas abortion providers has asked the Supreme Court to expedite a review of the state law that bars abortions after six weeks.
The law has been in effect for 23 days, but the federal appeals court hearing the challenge has only set a tentative hearing schedule for December. The providers are asking the justices to -- in effect -- step in and decide a key issue in the case now, instead of waiting for a federal appeals court to rule on the issue.
"How the Supreme Court crafted its Roe v. Wade decision and what it means today Under normal circumstances the Supreme Court does not like to rule on an issue until the normal appeals process has played out."We're asking the Supreme Court for this expedited appeal because the Fifth Circuit has done nothing to change the dire circumstances on the ground in Texas," said Nancy Northup of the Center for Reproductive Rights.
