Abortion case will go to the Texas Supreme Court. Here’s what to expect
Seema Mohapatra, a health law professor at Southern Methodist University, said women testifying about their own experiences being denied or forced to delay an abortion made the case compelling. Most previous abortion cases in the United States have been lead by reproductive health clinics — many of which closed in Texas due to bans.
Texas law also allowed the Attorney General’s Office to make an interlocutory appeal, a type of appeal that allows an injunction to be blocked before the state Supreme Court makes a decision. The ongoing challenge to state abortion bans has implications for health care in Texas and on the national level.
“If the Supreme Court ends up reversing the lower court decision, I expect that would see more of the same kinds of poor care,” Mohapatra said. “And, frankly, pregnant people and physicians who take care of pregnant patients will probably be thinking hard about whether they want to be facing a pregnancy in Texas or caring for pregnant patients in Texas.
