TL;DR

The Texas Supreme Court unanimously rejected a challenge to the state's strict abortion ban, ruling against expanding exceptions for medical emergencies. The lawsuit, filed by the Center for Reproductive Rights, will continue in trial court, but the high court's decision indicates that the challenge is unlikely to succeed. The court blamed doctors for misinterpreting the law, which allows abortions for life-threatening conditions before death or serious physical impairment are imminent.
