Texas Supreme Court rejects challenge to state abortion ban's medical exceptions
Fox News
The Texas Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, rejected a lawsuit that sought clarification over the state abortion ban's medical exceptions.
In a unanimous ruling, the court upheld the Texas law after the women filed a lawsuit in March 2023 seeking clarity on when exceptions to the abortion ban are permitted, arguing the law was confusing for doctors who might turn away patients over fears of repercussions.
The same issue was at the center of a separate lawsuit brought last year by Dallas mother Kate Cox, who sought court permission to obtain an abortion after her fetus developed a fatal condition during a pregnancy that resulted in multiple trips to an emergency room. She eventually left the state to have the procedure.
