In a ruling Friday, the Texas Supreme Court delivered another legal blow to abortion providers’ federal lawsuit challenging the state’s abortion restrictions.
The court ruled state agencies are not authorized to enforce the law, and thus, recommended the abortion industry’s lawsuit be dismissed.
“There is nothing left; this case is effectively over with respect to our challenge to the abortion ban,” said Marc Hearron, attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, which led the challenge against the Texas law known as Senate Bill 8.
Although Texas abortion clinics are not dropping the lawsuit, they now expect it will be dismissed in the coming weeks or months.

In a statement, the pro-life group Texas Right to Life called the ruling “a big victory.”
