How fast will the Christian Nationalists sue this judge?
State already appealing the decision. She could possibly die while this shit plays out in courts.
Guys Im starting to think all this prolife stuff was bullshit and they just wanted to control women. No clue where I could be getting that idea from.
I can’t tell how free this woman is.
Extremely free, can’t you tell by the fact that she had to go to a judge to make a decision about her body?
I don’t know, I feel like she could have even more freedom if she also needed permission from her husband or nearest male relative on top of the judge’s.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The lawsuit is believed to be the first of its kind in the nation since the U.S. Supreme Court last year overturned Roe v. Wade, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights, which is representing Cox.
Opponents have sought to weaken those bans — including an ongoing Texas challenge over whether the state’s law is too restrictive for women with pregnancy complications — but until now, a woman has not gone to court seeking approval for an immediate abortion.
Although Texas allows exceptions under the ban, doctors and women have argued that the requirements are so vaguely worded that physicians still won’t risk providing abortions, lest they face potential criminal charges or lawsuits.
“There are no facts pled which demonstrate that Ms. Cox is at any more of a risk, let alone life-threatening, than the countless women who give birth every day with similar medical histories,” the state wrote.
In July, several Texas women gave emotional testimony about carrying babies they knew would not survive and doctors unable to offer abortions despite their spiraling conditions.
A judge later ruled that Texas’ ban was too restrictive for women with pregnancy complications, but that decision was swiftly put on hold after the state appealed.
The original article contains 727 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 72%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
“There are no facts pled which demonstrate that Ms. Cox is at any more of a risk, let alone life-threatening, than the countless women who give birth every day with similar medical histories,” the state wrote.
Sorry State of Texas, but that 100% reads as “there are countless women who give birth every day that should have access to abortion based on their medical histories.”
