What Is Texas judge temporarily blocking state’s abortion bans lawsuit?
A district judge in Texas ruled the state’s abortion law unconstitutional in favor of five women who were denied or delayed in receiving abortions during medical crises.
Judge Jessica Mangrum wrote in her ruling that the Texas abortion ban was unconstitutional and uncertainty regarding the medical exception caused risk for pregnant women.
The abortion ban ruling came in Travis County District Court in Texas.
The plaintiffs are represented by Austin Kaplan of Kaplan Law Firm PLLC; Molly Duane, Nicolas Kabat and Marc Hearron of the Center for Reproductive Rights; and Jamie A. Levitt, J. Alexander Lawrence and Aditya V. Kamdar of Morrison & Foerster LLP.
The case is Zurawski, et al. v. State of Texas, et al., Case No. D-1-GN-23-000968, in the district court of Travis County, Texas.
What Is This Class Action All About?
A district judge in Texas has ruled the state’s abortion ban is unconstitutional, stating it caused uncertainty related to its medical exception and making it dangerous for pregnant women.
Travis County District Court Judge Jessica Mangrum wrote that if officials used the abortion ban to prevent an abortion for a woman with an emergent medical condition, it would be inconsistent with the woman’s constitutional rights.
The ruling comes after a lawsuit from five women who all experienced emergent conditions in Texas and were either denied or delayed in getting an abortion.
“The Court finds that the Patient Plaintiffs each experienced emergent medical conditions during their pregnancies that risked the Patient Plaintiffs’ lives and/or health (including their fertility) and required abortion care, but that Patient Plaintiffs were delayed or denied access to abortion care because of the widespread uncertainty regarding physicians’ level of discretion under the medical exception to Texas’s abortion bans,” Mangrum’s ruling states. “The Court further finds that the Patient Plaintiffs’ claims are capable of repetition but evading review.”
