Texas Faces Legal Backlash Over Controversial Abortion Laws

Seven more women have joined a lawsuit against Texas over its restrictive abortion laws, bringing the total number of plaintiffs to 22. The lawsuit argues that exemptions for life-threatening medical emergencies in the state's abortion bans are too vague and seeks to define what situations are considered "life-threatening." The plaintiffs include women who were forced to carry nonviable pregnancies to term and those who had serious fetal diagnoses. The case is set to be heard by the Texas Supreme Court on November 28.
