How this impacts you
Public Safety — The Texas Supreme Court's decisions, such as those on police immunity, can affect your safety. They can rule on whether or not police acted with enough negligence or disregard for public safety in incidents like car chases or threats that could harm or kill civilians.
Civil Rights — Texas Supreme Court rulings can affect your health. For instance, in December 2023, they decided doctors may be held liable for performing abortions except in life-threatening situations, reversing a decision made by a lower court. As a result of this ambiguity, Texas doctors are hesitant to perform abortions in cases where the pregnancy poses serious health risks or future fertility issues for the woman.
