Texas Woman Denied Abortion by Sinister Court Decision
The Texas Supreme Court has ruled against Kate Cox, a woman seeking an abortion due to high-risk complications threatening her life and future fertility. While the court's opinion initially appears to protect patients like Cox, it denies her doctor the necessary court order to safely perform the procedure without facing prosecution or lawsuits. The court claims to leave the decision to physicians but fails to provide the legal protection needed. The court's refusal to enforce the law based on technicalities and the threats made by the state attorney general create a hostile environment for doctors and patients seeking medically necessary abortions. This tactic mirrors historical efforts to disenfranchise Black voters, and it undermines reproductive rights in Texas.
