TL;DR Summary

Twenty women, including Cristina Nuñez and Kristen Anaya, have joined a lawsuit against Texas, arguing that the state's abortion laws endangered their lives and delayed their care. The plaintiffs claim that the exception for when a patient's life is in danger is too narrow and vague, putting them at risk during complicated pregnancies. The case, originally filed in March, now has a total of 20 patients suing Texas. The state has appealed a district court judge's ruling that the law needed to change, allowing Texas' three overlapping abortion bans to remain in effect. The Texas Supreme Court is set to consider a request for a temporary injunction that would expand the circumstances in which abortions are allowed.
