A Texas judge has granted a pregnant woman’s request for a court-authorized abortion after her unborn child was diagnosed with multiple abnormalities and given no hope of survival after birth, with the decision coming despite strict prohibitions on the procedure in the state for any reason other than if the mother’s life is in danger.
A judge at the District Court of Travis County, Texas, granted a temporary restraining order on Dec. 7 to Kate Cox, a woman who is 20 weeks pregnant and filed an emergency lawsuit against the state of Texas.
