Here is a link to a good article by Bill Saunders and Denise Burke describing recent developments in cases challenging aspects of the Texas abortion law. The Supreme Court recently prevented the implementation of two parts of the Texas law–the requirement that doctors who perform abortions have admitting privileges at local hospitals and the requirement that abortion clinics comply with ambulatory surgical center standards. As Saunders and Burke explain, it seems likely that the US Supreme Court will take up the issues in the near future.
Here is the conclusion of their article: “Ultimately, Supreme Court review of Texas House Bill 2 would provide a welcomed opportunity to demonstrate that such maternal health laws are both necessary and medically justified, that state must be given significant latitude to regulate abortion, and that abortion is not “safe” for either women or their unborn children.”
Will the Supreme Court Uphold Texas’ Pro-Life Law That Saved Babies From Abortion?
