"Texas Woman's Abortion Blocked as Greg Abbott Faces Condemnation"

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are facing backlash after a Dallas-based woman's abortion was temporarily blocked in court. The Texas Supreme Court issued a temporary stay on a lower court's decision granting Kate Cox, a pregnant woman with a fetus with a fatal genetic condition, permission to get an abortion. Texas enacted one of the strictest abortion bans in the US, which does not have exceptions for rape or incest and goes into effect after about six weeks of pregnancy. Cox's case is believed to be the first since Roe v. Wade was overturned where a woman has asked a court to approve an abortion. The decision has sparked outrage on social media, with critics accusing Abbott and Paxton of controlling women's reproductive rights.
