Texas Supreme Court upholds near-total abortion ban

The Texas Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Friday to uphold the state’s near-total abortion ban, denying claims that the law risks the lives of Texans with severe pregnancy complications. “Texas law permits a life-saving abortion,” the majority opinion written by Justice Jane Bland reads. “The law permits a physician to intervene to address a woman’s life-threatening condition before death or serious physical impairment are imminent.”
