Team,

We just received news that Texas's unconstitutional abortion ban will
go back into effect-just days after a lower court blocked the
law.

The decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals-in a lawsuit
filed by the U.S. Department of Justice-granted a request from
the state of Texas. The Texas law bans abortion after approximately
six weeks of pregnancy.

I wanted you to see my statement below.

Statement from Nancy Northup, President and CEO of the Center for
Reproductive Rights

The Supreme Court needs to step in and stop this madness. It's
unconscionable that the Fifth Circuit stayed such a well-reasoned
decision that allowed constitutionally protected services to return in
Texas.

Patients are being thrown back into a state of chaos and fear, and
this cruel law is falling hardest on those who already face
discriminatory obstacles in health care, especially Black, Indigenous,
and other people of color, undocumented immigrants, young people,
those struggling to make ends meet, and those in rural areas. The
courts have an obligation to block laws that violate fundamental
rights.
