Supreme Court Declines To Block Texas Abortion Ban

The U.S. Supreme Court late on Wednesday [9/1/21] refused to block a Texas ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.

Written by Lawrence Hurley and Andrew Chung | Thursday, September 2, 2021

The court’s majority, in an unsigned explanation, said the decision “is not based on any conclusion about the constitutionality of Texas’s law” and allows legal challenges to move forward. The court’s action represents a major milestone in the fight over abortion as opponents have sought for decades to roll back access to the procedure and its legality.

The justices on a 5-4 vote denied an emergency request by abortion and women’s health providers for an injunction barring enforcement of the ban, which went into effect early on Wednesday, while litigation continues in their lawsuit challenging its constitutionality.

The decision saw one of the court’s six conservatives, Chief Justice John Roberts, joined the three liberals in dissent.

“The court’s order is stunning,” wrote liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor in a dissenting opinion.
