A Texas woman with a non-viable pregnancy will be able to get an emergency abortion, a judge ruled on Thursday, in a lawsuit against the state that was filed after the woman was denied care because of the state’s strict abortion bans.
Kate Cox, a 31-year-old mother of two in Dallas, learned last week that her fetus has a lethal diagnosis and had been unable to get an abortion despite going to the emergency room three times with severe cramping and fluid loss. Her lawyers said in court that, in the two days since filing the lawsuit, Cox had to go to the ER a fourth time.
