The Supreme Court refused to halt Texas’ law banning abortions last week after a fetal heartbeat is detected, but it did agree to quickly take up the case, scheduling it to be heard Nov. 1.
The justices will decide if the federal government can sue the state, given that state officials don’t enforce the law — private citizens do.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented in part, saying she disagreed with the court‘s move not to halt the law while the litigation is pending.
