Texas judge allows emergency abortion despite statewide ban
A district judge in Texas stepped in to allow a woman to terminate her pregnancy despite a statewide abortion ban. It’s believed to be the first case since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade where a woman has asked a judge to approve an immediate abortion and won. Kate Cox, the plaintiff in the case, and Molly Duane of the Center for Reproductive Rights discussed more with Amna Nawaz.
