US: Texas Supreme Court blocks pregnant woman with complications from emergency abortion

[Collection]The Texas Supreme Court temporarily blocked a pregnant woman from obtaining an emergency abortion, despite her foetus having a fatal genetic condition. The court froze the lower court's ruling that would have allowed Kate Cox to obtain the procedure. Cox, who is 20 weeks pregnant, sought an emergency hearing after learning her unborn baby had trisomy 18. The court's decision has sparked debate over the state's medical exception to its strict abortion ban after six weeks.
