Supreme Court to hear expedited arguments on Texas heartbeat abortion ban; law remains in effect
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Nov. 1 to determine if Texas can lawfully enforce a ban on abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, usually around six weeks into a pregnancy. In orders issued Friday, the high court granted a review in the cases of Whole Women’s Health et al v. Jackson et al and United States v. Texas. The Texas ban will remain in effect as the litigation continues.
