A Texas woman who faced murder charges after self-managing an abortion in 2022 has been granted permission to move forward with her lawsuit against the local sheriff and prosecutors. The charges were dropped shortly after her arrest, but the case has sparked national outrage and legal action.
The woman, identified as Lizelle Gonzalez, spent two nights in jail on murder charges before they were dismissed. The incident occurred in Texas, a state known for its strict abortion laws. While Texas law exempts women seeking abortions from criminal charges, Gonzalez was still arrested and indicted.
