Team,

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court announced it will hear two cases
challenging Texas's ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy
(S.B. 8) on November 1-including a case brought by Whole
Woman's Health and a broad coalition of abortion advocates,
represented by the Center and its partners.

The Court declined to rule on a request to block the ban until it
hears the cases. Since September 1, when the ban took effect and the
Supreme Court initially declined to block the law, most Texans have
been unable to access abortion in the state.

I wanted you to see my statement below in response to today's
developments.

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

The Supreme Court's action today brings us one step closer to
the restoration of Texans' constitutional rights and an end to
the havoc and heartache of this ban.

We are enormously disappointed that the Court has left the law in
effect for now, forcing those with means to leave the state to access
constitutionally protected abortion services and leaving others with
no options at all. However, we are confident that when the Court
ultimately rules in these cases, it will reject the state of
Texas's cynical ploy to enact a brazenly unconstitutional
abortion ban.
