Advocates had hoped to move the case to federal district court because a judge there had previously blocked the law.
Thursday. The motion would have moved the case to federal district court, which advocates had hoped for because a judge there had previously blocked the law and because it would speed up the challenge. As the case now stands, the challenge likely faces months of delays before being heard by the high court.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in her dissent Thursday, “The law immediately devastated access to abortion care in Texas through a complicated private bounty-hunter scheme that violates nearly 50 years of this Court’s precedents.” Texas has banned all abortions beyond six weeks, before many women know they’re pregnant, and deputized private citizens to sue anyone who aids in giving an illegal abortion.

Supreme Court won't speed challenge to Texas abortion limitsIn the latest setback for abortion rights in Texas, the Supreme Court on Thursday refused to speed up the ongoing court case over the state's ban on most abortions.

The Texas ban is thus likely to remain in effect for the foreseeable future, following a decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans to send the case to the Texas Supreme Court, which is entirely controlled by Republican justices and does not have to act immediately.
