Federal Appeals Court to Hear Texas Abortion Case

“A federal appeals court said Monday it will hear oral arguments Jan. 7 in a high-profile case centered on the country’s most restrictive abortion law,” NBC News reports.

“The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Louisiana, scheduled the hearing after the Supreme Court this month declined to block enforcement of the Texas law known as S.B. 8 while allowing abortion providers in the state to proceed with their legal challenge.”
