A federal court dismissed all challenges to the private enforcement mechanism of Texas’s six-week abortion ban on Tuesday.
a unique enforcement mechanism whereby any private citizen may file a civil lawsuit against an abortion provider or any other individual who “aids or abets” an abortion. A three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which is widely regarded as the most conservative appeals court, sent the legal challenge of the mechanism back to the state Supreme Court to be dismissed altogether.
In March, the Texas Supreme Court “dealt a final blow to abortion providers” by ruling that state medical licensing officials do not have authority to enforce the law,“This was the last, narrowly cracked window that abortion providers had left to challenge the law after the U.S. Supreme Court decimated their case in a December ruling,” the report continues.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott celebrated the Fifth Circuit’s ruling, adding that the law is “saving babies every day.”

Belo Sun can appeal the decision to a higher court.
