Woman Who Sought Court-Ordered Abortion Is Leaving Texas for Procedure
www.nytimes.com
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.

    Sadly that just won’t fly. It sucks, but you’re being delusional if you think a state with an abortion ban would accept such a glaring loophole in their laws.

    Edit: 100% unrelated but I seem to be getting delayed notifications that I even have a reply to a message? Am I the only one experiencing that?

      Oh I know it won’t I’m just saying that’s exactly what I would say before nopeing the fuck outta state permanently.

      As for the notification thing idk what app your using but it’s normal on jerboa. You can just check your notifications manually and it’ll be there before the actual notification

        I like to think I would have noped out of the state permanently well before I got pregnant.

        I’m using sync, the inbox will show no new messages even when I refresh it, and then 5 min later show one that’s 20 minutes old. I haven’t dug into it further though like comparing to the web.
