A US federal appeals court ruled Friday that Texas could resume its ban on most abortions, two days after another court suspended the ban.
Laws restricting abortion have been passed in other Republican-led states but were struck down by the courts because they violated Roe v. Wade.
"Patients are being thrown back into a state of chaos and fear, and this cruel law is falling hardest on those who already face discriminatory obstacles in health care." The"Texas Heartbeat Act" allows members of the public to sue doctors who perform abortions, or anyone who helps facilitate them, once a fetal heartbeat is detected -- usually at around six weeks.
Tens of thousands of women took to the streets in cities across the country last weekend, asserting their reproductive rights.
