"Federal Appeals Panel Rules on Emergency Abortion Care Under 1986 Law in Texas Case"

A federal appeals court ruled that the Biden administration cannot enforce a 1986 emergency care law to mandate Texas hospitals to provide abortions when a woman's life is at risk due to pregnancy. This decision is part of ongoing legal battles following the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision to end federal abortion rights. The court's ruling aligns with Texas law and the opinion of anti-abortion groups, emphasizing that the 1986 law requires hospitals to stabilize both the pregnant woman and the fetus, not to provide an "unqualified right" for an abortion.
