"Texas Woman in High-Profile Abortion Case to Attend State of the Union"

Kate Cox, the Texas woman at the center of a high-profile abortion case, will attend the State of the Union address in March as a guest of first lady Jill Biden. President Joe Biden and the first lady called Cox to hear about her experience and invited her to attend the address, thanking her for her courage in sharing her story and speaking out about the impact of the extreme abortion ban in Texas. Cox sought a court order to terminate her pregnancy due to a rare chromosomal disorder, but the Texas Supreme Court ruled against her. Biden has announced new initiatives on abortion rights and called on Congress to pass laws to restore protections to reproductive rights that existed under Roe v. Wade.
