The Texas Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Friday to uphold the state’s near-total abortion ban, denying claims that the law risks the lives of Texans with severe pregnancy complications.

“Teas law permits a life-saving abortion,” reads the majority opinion written by Justice Jane Bland. “The law permits a physician to intervene to address a woman’s life-threatening condition before death or serious physical imparement are imminent.”

The ruling comes following the lawsuit against Texas’s anti-abortion statute filed by Amanda Zurawski, who was 18 weeks pregnant when she suffered from preterm prelabor rupture of membranes, or P-PROM.

Doctors in Texas refused to terminate Zurawski’s pregnancy during this life-threatening condition, and she spent three days in the intensive care unit after developing sepsis. Zurawski was one of President Joe Biden’s guests at the 2024 State of the Union Address.

This is a developing story.
