🚨 #SCOTUS BREAKING NEWS: The U.S. Supreme Court has endorsed Texas's bounty hunting scheme in a case challenging Texas's abortion ban, #SB8.

While allowing the case to move forward on narrow grounds, the Court has NOT blocked the law, meaning abortion remains mostly inaccessible in TX. #BansOffOurBodies #AbortionIsEssential

In our case, Whole Woman’s Health v. Jackson, #SCOTUS once again failed to block Texas’s draconian abortion ban, which has decimated access in the state for the last 100 DAYS.

#SCOTUS has foreclosed abortion providers and advocates’ primary avenues for relief, but we will be returning to the district court nonetheless to continue fighting for our clients.

At the same time, the Court denied the Department of Justice’s request to block the law and said that it never should have taken the DOJ’s case in the first place. The DOJ’s case now returns to the Fifth Circuit.

For 100 DAYS, patients in Texas have been denied access to their constitutional right to abortion and prevented from accessing essential, time-sensitive health care.

The Supreme Court has essentially greenlit Texas’s cynical scheme and prevented federal courts from blocking an unconstitutional law.
