Texas anti-abortion laws face more lawsuits from women alleging harm.

Eight more women have joined a lawsuit against the state of Texas, claiming that the state's abortion bans put their health or lives at risk while facing pregnancy-related medical emergencies. The lawsuit, originally filed in March by five women and two doctors, asks a judge to clarify the meaning of medical exceptions in the state's anti-abortion statutes. The Center for Reproductive Rights, which is representing the women, is now asking for a temporary injunction to block Texas abortion bans in the event of pregnancy complications.
