Texas Supreme Court temporarily blocks pregnant woman from emergency abortion
The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a pregnant woman, Kate Cox, from having an emergency abortion, overriding a lower court ruling that would have allowed the procedure. Cox is 20 weeks pregnant, and her unborn child has been diagnosed with a fatal genetic condition. She argues that her pregnancy complications are endangering her health. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton requested the high court intervention, following a temporary restraining order against the state’s restrictive abortion ban. Cox’s case underscores the ongoing controversy over Texas’s medical exception to its six-week abortion ban, one of the strictest in the U.S.
