(Austin, TX) — A lawsuit over the Texas abortion ban is on its way back to Texas.

On Monday, the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans announced that the suit is being sent to state’s Supreme Court. The case involves the challenge to the law known as the Heartbeat Act which bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, which took effect last September.

The move is expected to delay the lawsuit even longer, during which time the law remains in place.
