Texas Supreme Court temporarily blocks woman from emergency abortion
The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that permitted a Texas woman, Kate Cox, to have an emergency abortion. The state’s attorney general appealed to the high court to reverse a previous decision approving Cox’s request for an abortion due to a pregnancy with severe anomalies. Cox filed a lawsuit against the state over its restrictive abortion laws, and Judge Maya Guerra Gamble granted her request. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed an appeal requesting the immediate blockage of the restraining order. Cox’s case stands separately from a lawsuit filed by 20 women claiming their lives were put at risk due to Texas’ abortion bans, which is also awaiting a ruling from the Texas Supreme Court.
