“A Texas judge on Thursday gave a pregnant woman whose fetus has a fatal diagnosis permission to get an abortion in an unprecedented challenge over bans that more than a dozen states have enacted since Roe v. Wade was overturned. The lawsuit by Kate Cox, a 31-year-old mother of two from the Dallas area, is believed to be the first time since the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision last year that a woman anywhere in the country has asked a court to approve an immediate abortion … That decision is likely to be appealed by the state, which argued that Cox does not meet the criteria for a medical exception.” It’s madness that a woman would have to hand over medical approval to a series of judges. As if having a fetus with a fatal diagnosis isn’t bad enough, now she has to deal with this.
