The Texas Supreme Court on Friday rejected a challenge by 20 patients and two abortion providers who sued Texas after the state’s abortion ban prevented them from receiving, or administering, urgent healthcare. The lawsuit sought to clarify and expand the medical exceptions that are supposedly permitted under the abortion ban. The Center for Reproductive Rights, which brought the case, said, “As women across the country are finding out, exceptions to abortion bans are illusory and it is dangerous to be pregnant in any state that bans abortion.”
