Texas Abortion Ban Forces Woman to Seek Emergency Procedure Out of State

Kate Cox, a woman from Texas facing pregnancy complications, has traveled out of state to get an abortion after suing the state for access to the procedure. Cox, who is about 21 weeks pregnant and facing health issues, including a fetus with a condition that is almost always fatal, could not wait any longer due to her deteriorating health. The details of where she traveled for the abortion have not been disclosed. The case, which had received a temporary hold from the Texas Supreme Court, may now be moot. The Center for Reproductive Rights has argued that the language of the abortion bans in Texas is vague and confusing for doctors and hospitals, making it difficult to determine eligibility for the procedure.
