A judge on Wednesday found that Texas’s 6-week abortion ban was “flagrantly unconstitutional.”
Protesters hold up signs as they march down Congress Avenue at a protest outside the Texas state Capitol on May 29 in Austin.
The law, SB 8, prohibits nearly all abortions after fetal cardiac activity can be detected, which is typically around week six of pregnancy. The Justice Department filed a constitutional challenge last month after Whole Woman’s Health and other abortion providers in the state unsuccessfully tried to pursue their own case to stop the law from taking effect on Sept. 1.
Miller said that in addition to performing abortions for patients who had already gone through Texas’s waiting period, Whole Woman’s Health had also contacted patients who were past week six and had expressed interest in getting an abortion to see if they’d want to initiate that process.
