Texas AG Ken Paxton Fights to Prevent Woman from Ending Nonviable Pregnancy, Texas Supreme Court Pauses Abortion Order

The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a woman from receiving an abortion after a lower court ruled in her favor to protect her health in a nonviable pregnancy. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton requested the court's intervention and threatened doctors with prosecution if they performed the procedure. The court's administrative stay freezes the lower court ruling, leaving the case in limbo. The woman, Kate Cox, argued that continuing the pregnancy would risk her health and future fertility, and hopes to prevent further pain and suffering.
