After Kate Cox Flees State, Texas Supreme Court Overturns Decision That Permitted Her Abortion

[RandomGuy]

Let’s just start with the “good” news: By the time the Texas Supreme Court last night overturned a judge’s ruling that she could have a medically necessary abortion, Texas resident Kate Cox was already well outside the court’s reach, having left Texas earlier in the day for an undisclosed free state where she can get the potentially lifesaving care she needs.

Cox last week became the first person since Roe V. Wade in 1973 to have to file a lawsuit to request permission to terminate a pregnancy, thanks to Texas’s near-total abortion ban. She and her husband, who have two kids already, had very much wanted the pregnancy, but the fetus was diagnosed with trisomy 18, an untreatable, lethal genetic anomaly. With help from the Center for Reproductive Rights, Cox sued, and Travis County District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble issued a temporary restraining order Thursday, ruling that because Cox’s life or ability to have a child in the future would be at risk if she continued the pregnancy, the abortion could go ahead, and state officials could not take legal action against Cox’s doctor, Dr. Damla Karsan, or others involved in providing the abortion. Cox has needed Emergency Room treatment several times leading up to and even since filing the lawsuit, her lawyers said.

Excellent. Ripping an infant from a womb is a disgrace.

Texastan SC: “No one disputes that Ms. Cox’s pregnancy has been extremely complicated. Any parents would be devastated to learn of their unborn child’s trisomy 18 diagnosis,” the justices wrote. “Some difficulties in pregnancy, however, even serious ones, do not pose the heightened risks to the mother the exception encompasses.”

Death isn't a heightened risk.

I wonder if she voted Red?

I wonder if any reporter will ask her…so far in the interviews with her ive watched- no one asked her this important question.

she needs to be asked and followed up with, “what is your message to other women in states like texas who outlaw womens healthcare services and what they should know before voting for republican legislatures that want to control womens bodies and dictate their healthcare options?”

finally…this blows up the lie that there are “exceptions” that easily help women in dangerous healthcare/pregnancy predicaments….

Using Texastan logic: If you are a true believer, in death, you will be with Jesus. Or if you pray hard enough, Jesus will take care of everything.

Otherwise, the Texastan SC says you are fucked.

Can't wait to hear CosmicCowboy feign outrage over Texas's abortion laws and pretend that he disagrees with the Attorney General and State Supreme Court justices he votes for :lol

Kylie Beaton, another plaintiff, also had to watch her baby die. Beaton, who didn’t testify this week, learned during a 20-week scan that something was wrong with her baby’s brain, according to the suit.

The doctor diagnosed the fetus with alobar holoprosencephaly, a condition where the two hemispheres of the brain don’t properly divide. Babies with this condition are often stillborn or die soon after birth.

Beaton’s doctor told her he couldn’t provide an abortion unless she was severely ill, or the fetus’s heart stopped. Beaton and her husband sought to obtain an abortion out of state. However, the fetus’s head was enlarged due to its condition, and the only clinic that would perform an abortion charged up to $15,000. Beaton and her husband couldn’t afford it.

Instead, Beaton gave birth to a son she named Grant. The baby cried constantly, wouldn’t eat, and couldn’t be held upright for fear it would put too much pressure on his head, according to the suit. Four days later, Grant died.

He doesn't pretend to disagree with them. He bends over backwards to say they made the right rulings even though he says he doesn't like them. My favorite is when he says he agrees with exceptions and now we see those exceptions are just some bullshit that are there in name only in our abortion law.

PRwise this is basically the worst case scenario example for Republicans outside of the mother straight up dying.

How are GOP leadership not blowing up Paxton, Patrick and Abbott's phones telling them to stand down? This policy isn't even popular with their base.

This is what I don't get. If I were Felito Cruz I'd be calling Paxton up screaming about how much he was helping Allred fundraise off of this.

If you were McCarthy you might. If you were the son of the Kennedy assassin you'd be fine with the mother dying to own the libs though.
