Woman Who Sought Court-Ordered Abortion Is Leaving Texas for Procedure

A group representing Kate Cox, whose fetus received a fatal diagnosis, said she was leaving Texas for an abortion rather than wait for a ruling from the Texas Supreme Court.

The court ruled that the lower court made a mistake in ruling that the woman, Kate Cox, who is more than 20 weeks pregnant, was entitled to a medical exception.

Ms. Cox asked the lower court for approval after she learned that her fetus had a fatal condition, and after several trips to the emergency room.

In short, the life or health exemptions to abortion bans in Republican-controlled states are meaningless.
