Texas Supreme Court's Controversial Rulings on Abortion Rights
TL;DR
The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily halted a lower court's ruling that allowed a pregnant woman with a fatal fetal diagnosis to have an abortion, creating uncertainty around the state's restrictive abortion ban. The court's order came after the woman, Kate Cox, received a temporary restraining order preventing Texas from enforcing the ban in her case. Cox's attorneys argue that she does meet the criteria for a medical exception to the ban, while the Texas Attorney General argues otherwise. Meanwhile, a pregnant woman in Kentucky has also filed a lawsuit seeking the right to an abortion.
