Abstract

A pregnant woman in Texas who was seeking an exception to the state's abortion ban for a fetus with a fatal abnormality has decided to travel out of state for the procedure. This decision came shortly before the Texas Supreme Court ruled against her bid for an in-state abortion. The case was significant as it tested whether a pregnant person could use the courts to secure an abortion in a state that had outlawed the procedure with only limited exceptions for medical emergencies. The court ruled that the woman's doctor had not adequately attested to her condition meeting the state's exception. [Extracted from the article]
