Team,
Last night, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit struck down a Texas ban on the standard abortion procedure after approximately 15 weeks of pregnancy. This ruling—issued in a case brought by Whole Woman’s Health, a longtime client of the Center for Reproductive Rights—is a major victory for Texans.
We've been fighting this law for years, and this victory wouldn't have been possible without your support. Please make a gift of $35 or more today to help us continue challenging dangerous laws like this one in states across the country.
Major medical organizations including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) strongly oppose these types of abortion bans, noting, “These restrictions represent legislative interference at its worst: doctors will be forced, by ill-advised, unscientifically motivated policy, to provide lesser care to patients. This is unacceptable.”
This decision strikes a blow to Texas’s strategy to ban one abortion procedure after another until it is all but inaccessible. Politicians should never decide what medical procedures a patient can and cannot receive, but that’s exactly what so many face in states across the country.
Will you make a gift today to help us keep fighting?
Onward,
Nancy Northup
President & CEO
