The 5th U.S. Court of Appeals must decide whether to send a more limited challenge to the Texas Supreme Court or to a federal judge in Austin.
Texas abortion clinics returned to court on Friday to continue their fight against the state's restrictive abortion law.
The Texas law is a near-total ban on abortions, prohibiting the procedure once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which usually falls around six weeks and often occurs before many are aware that they're pregnant. It asks private civilians to help enforce the ban by allowing them to sue clinics, doctors and others who carry out or facilitate an abortion not permitted under the stipulations of the law.
The 5th U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans is tasked with deciding whether to direct a more limited version of the original lawsuit to the Texas Supreme Court or to a federal judge in Austin who has already blocked the restrictions.
