Texas abortion providers ask Supreme Court to fast-track appeal over state's fetal heartbeat ban
Fox News
Texas abortion providers have requested that the U.S. Supreme Court fast-track an appeal over the state's newly implemented restrictions on the procedure.
The law, known as the "Texas Heartbeat Act," prohibits abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy – when many women are not yet aware that they are pregnant.
Abortion rights groups in the state have requested oral arguments in December, around the same time the court will hear an appeal challenging a Mississippi law banning most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
