Unveiling the Reality of Texas' Abortion Laws: Amanda Zurawski's Perspective

Texas resident Kate Cox, facing a nonviable pregnancy that posed a threat to her future fertility, sought an abortion through a court's good-faith exception to Texas' restrictive abortion laws. However, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton intervened, threatening criminal sanctions against Cox's physicians and hospitals if they aided in the abortion. The Texas Supreme Court ultimately ruled that Cox's physician's belief did not meet the state's standard for a good-faith exception. Amanda Zurawski, the lead plaintiff in an ongoing lawsuit challenging Texas' abortion laws, and her lawyer, Jamie Levitt, discuss the standing issue and the state's attempts to evade judicial review while showing disdain for women facing pregnancy crises.
