A national abortion-rights group has filed an appeal with the US Supreme Court. The Center for Reproductive Rights is asking justices to reinstate a lower court’s order that blocks the State of Texas from enforcing its ambulatory surgical center requirements.
They're hoping a SCOTUS appeal will reverse the US 5th Circuit Court’s decision to allow the state to enforce this portion of Texas’ Abortion law while they await a full hearing. Looking at a similar appeal concerning the state’s enforcement of the law’s admitting privileges requirement, this request could prove to be an uphill challenge.
Esha Bhandari is staff attorney with the Center for Reproductive Rights and said, “We think this case is different from the admitting privileges case because the impact is so drastic, leaving 7-clinics in such a large state is simply not enough and women’s constitutional rights are at risk.”
