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.
I’m glad she got out of that hellhole and is presumably getting help but I’d be gladder if we could not have so much evil seemingly everywhere, just looking to hurt people for fun or profit.
… Seriously this shit’s disgusting. You’d think even a minimally sentient species would grow out of this crap but no, here I am (in current year, no less!) making weird obscure references to keep myself from being ill from reading news again.
