Healthcare JudicialTexas Dismemberment Abortion Ban Goes Before the Fifth Circuit

Abortion providers have called the requirement an undue burden since it could send a woman seeking abortions on two trips to the clinic.

A split decision last month found the dismemberment ban unconstitutional. The State of Texas will defend it again before the whole court.

The court ruled 2-1 that requiring abortion providers to "cause fetal demise" inside the womb, instead of on the way out, is burdensome.
