Texas Woman Leaves State to Obtain Abortion Amid Legal Battle

A Texas woman seeking a legal medical exemption for an abortion has left the state after the Texas Supreme Court temporarily paused a lower court decision that would have allowed her to have the procedure. The woman's doctors had determined that her baby suffered from a chromosomal disorder that would likely result in stillbirth or early infant death. The Texas Attorney General warned a medical center of legal consequences if they performed the abortion. The situation remains ongoing.
