The Supreme Court of Texas (SCOTX) ruled against a lower court’s dismissal of Texas Right to Life’s appeal against Planned Parenthood. The Court of Appeals must first establish whether the multiple abortion organizations suing Texas Right to Life, for allegedly orchestrating lawsuits against violators of the state’s abortion laws, have a legal standing before the case proceeds.
Various Planned Parenthood locations and other pro-choice advocacy groups and providers filed 14 lawsuits in 2021 against the nonprofit, pro-life organization Texas Right to Life and its president, John Seago after they allegedly published a website that “invited members of the public to report violations” of 2021’s Senate Bill (SB) 8, also known as the Texas Heartbeat Act, and described the provisions of the law.
