Team,

Just now, we once again asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in our case challenging a Texas ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.

The petition was filed by a broad coalition of Texas abortion providers—led by our client, Whole Woman's Health—along with abortion funds, doctors, and other organizations, in an attempt to expedite the case. We’ve requested that the Court hear our appeal without waiting for a further ruling from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

This ban has now been in effect for 23 days, and it has eliminated nearly all abortion care in the state.

Texans must now seek out-of-state appointments for this time-sensitive medical care, causing backlogs in surrounding states like Louisiana and Oklahoma, and delaying abortion care by weeks for Texans and non-Texans alike.

The Fifth Circuit has yet to act to address the dire circumstances on the ground in Texas. We need this case to move as quickly as possible, that's why we've asked the Supreme Court to step in.

Right now, patients are traveling hundreds of miles to receive the care that they need. But the reality is, most are unable to travel out of state, putting abortion care completely out of reach.

With your continued support, we will keep fighting to ensure people everywhere have the right to make health care decisions without political interference.

Sincerely,

Marc Hearron
Senior Counsel, U.S. Litigation
