Challenge Dismissed Against Texas Heartbeat Act

Ephesians 6:13 “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”

Important Takeaways:

  • ‘Win for the Unborn!’ Appeals Court Dismisses Central Challenge Against Texas Heartbeat Act
  • On Tuesday the appeals court essentially dismissed the lawsuit that had attempted to overturn the pro-life heartbeat law that is stopping nearly “50 percent of abortions each day in Texas.”
  • Since state officials aren’t responsible for enforcing the Texas Heartbeat Act, the court agreed the abortion companies are unable to sue the state. “This court REMANDS the case with instructions to dismiss all challenges to the private enforcement provisions of the statute and to consider whether plaintiffs have standing to challenge,” the appeals court said.
  • The measure isn’t enforced by law enforcement or any other state officials. Rather, private citizens are authorized to report abortion providers or anyone involved in facilitating an abortion after a heartbeat is detected.
