TL;DR Summary

A 31-year-old woman in Texas, who received a fatal fetal diagnosis, is suing the state for permission to have an emergency abortion. The woman, Kate Cox, discovered a serious fetal anomaly in her second trimester that would result in severe complications if the baby survives birth. Cox is seeking relief from Texas's strict abortion bans, which prohibit the procedure in almost all cases. She argues that continuing the pregnancy would cause pain and suffering and pose risks to her health and future fertility. The lawsuit requests a temporary restraining order to block the enforcement of the abortion bans against Cox and her medical team.
