Dear team,
Tonight, the U.S. Supreme Court denied our emergency request to block Texas' radical new abortion ban.
The law bans abortion after just six weeks of pregnancy—before many even know they're pregnant. As a result of today's ruling, the law will take effect and force almost all legal abortion in Texas to come to an abrupt stop.
We are doubling down on our efforts to restore access to abortion care across the state in partnership with our client, Whole Woman's Health, one of the leading plaintiffs in our case challenging Texas' abortion ban.
People have the right to make their own health care decisions without interference from politicians—and this law is a full-scale assault on patients, their health care providers, and their support systems. This is a grim day for the people of Texas and our country as a whole.
You can learn more about the critical work Whole Woman's Health Alliance is doing to provide the care Texans deserve while helping to fight this law here.
Thank you for standing with us in the fight for access to safe, legal abortion care everywhere. Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook for the latest updates on the case.
In solidarity,
Center for Reproductive Rights
