Breaking News: Texas Supreme Court Rules Against Pregnant Woman Seeking Emergency Abortion
In what many are calling a controversial decision, the Texas Supreme Court ruled late Monday against a pregnant woman, Kate Cox, who was seeking an emergency abortion over a severe fetal abnormality. The ruling came just hours after she had left the state to terminate her pregnancy. This comes after a week of legal battles and threats of prosecution from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Cox, who is 20 weeks pregnant, was forced to file a lawsuit to fight the state’s restrictive abortion bans after discovering that her developing fetus has a severe chromosomal defect. The court’s decision has sparked outrage and raised questions about the rights of pregnant women in Texas.
While a district judge initially granted a temporary restraining order to allow Cox to terminate her pregnancy, the state Supreme Court ultimately reversed this decision, citing that her doctor did not provide enough evidence to meet the required exception for a medical emergency abortion.
Despite seeking their own resolution, Cox has taken matters into her own hands and left Texas to seek the time-sensitive abortion care she needs to protect her health and future fertility.
This contentious case has once again brought the issue of abortion rights to the forefront, as women across Texas and the nation await further developments.
