An appeals court is upholding a ban on a common second-trimester procedure
The law was first passed in 2017, but was blocked by court battles. A federal judge in the lower courts had previously invoked the “undue burden” test, ruling that the law would amount “to a ban on all D&E abortions.” But on Wednesday, the appeals court argued that doctors could still perform the procedure while complying with the legislation—which requires doctors toby inserting a large needle into the abdomen or cervix—handing the anti-abortion movement a victory.
The ruling is just one of many looming crises for abortion access in Texas. S.B. 8, which bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy—before many people even know they’re pregnant—. According to Planned Parenthood, the law would also allow anyone to “sue doctors and others who help a Texan access abortion in the state.
They also function as a way for abortion foes to surround abortion with stigma and shame, and attempt to convince people that a common healthcare procedure is dangerous and immoral. D&E is a surgical abortion option in which a patient’s cervix is dilated and the fetus is removed via suction and with the help of additional surgical tools, like forceps, if necessary.
