Texas Woman Challenges Abortion Ban, Unveiling a Disturbing Reality
A pregnant woman in Texas, Kate Cox, who learned that her baby has a fatal condition, has asked a court for permission to get an abortion despite the state's ban. A Texas judge initially granted her permission, but the state's highest court has put the decision on hold while it considers her case. Cox's lawsuit is believed to be the first since Roe v. Wade was overturned last year, and it raises questions about the narrow exceptions to the state's ban. The Texas Supreme Court, made up of nine Republican justices, has not provided a timeline for a ruling. Cox's case highlights the ongoing legal battle over abortion rights in Texas and the challenges faced by women seeking abortions under the state's strict laws.
