Texas Woman Escapes State for Abortion Amid Legal Battle
A pregnant Texas woman, Kate Cox, who is at the center of a legal battle over terminating her high-risk pregnancy, has left the state to obtain an abortion after learning her fetus has a fatal condition and doctors warned of potential risks to her future fertility. The Center for Reproductive Rights, representing Cox, stated that she has received offers of assistance to access abortion services in other locations. A state district court judge granted a temporary restraining order allowing Cox to have the abortion, but Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton threatened criminal prosecution against doctors or hospitals involved. The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily blocked Cox from obtaining an abortion while reviewing the case.
