Center for the Reproductive Rights, which is representing Kate Cox, says she left after being ‘in and out of the emergency room’
The Texas woman who sued the state for an abortion after receiving a lethal fetal diagnosis has now fled Texas in order to obtain the procedure, the Center for Reproductive Rights announced in a statement Monday.
The woman, Kate Cox, a 31-year-old mother of two from Dallas, sued Texas last week. While a lower-court judge ruled to allow Cox to receive an abortion, the Texas state supreme court on Friday paused that ruling. In her lawsuit, Cox said that continuing the pregnancy could threaten her life and future fertility.
Texas bans almost all abortions. Although the ban technically includes exceptions for cases of medical emergencies, doctors have said that the exceptions are too vague and force them to wait until their patients get sick enough to intervene.
They’re just going to argue that they didn’t deliberately restrict it, they paused it, because she wasn’t in life-threatening danger YET.
Remember, the cruelty and suffering of women is the point, they get off on it.
Plus, they want this shit to go in front of the SC so they’ll rule in favor of it.
