Texas Supreme Court Upholds Abortion Ban Despite Medical Exceptions Challenge

The Texas Supreme Court unanimously rejected a challenge to the state's abortion ban brought by women with serious pregnancy complications, seeking clarification on exceptions. The ruling affirms that certain conditions like preterm premature rupture of membranes can warrant an abortion but does not allow abortions based solely on life-limiting fetal diagnoses. Critics argue the decision leaves many women and doctors in uncertainty, potentially endangering lives.
