Court Again Lets Texas Abortion Law Stand
Texas can
continue banning enforcing its tough new abortion restriction after a federal appeals court on Thursday rejected the Biden administration's latest
attempt to undo a novel law that has become the nation's biggest curb to the practice in nearly 50 years.
It pushes the
Texas law closer to returning to the U.S. Supreme Court, which in September allowed the state to move ahead with banning abortions once cardiac
activity is detected, usually around six weeks. No exceptions are made in cases of rape or incest.
