An appeals court ruled on Thursday that a Texas abortion ban will remain in effect as legal challenges against it play out.

The Texas Heartbeat Act, also known as Senate Bill 8, was signed into law by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in May. It bans abortions after a heartbeat is detected, which is usually around six weeks, unless a medical emergency exists.
