Texas Tribune: Texas Supreme Court blocks order allowing abortion; woman who sought it leaves state
John,
The all-Republican Texas Supreme Court unanimously rejected the right of Kate Cox, a mother of two, to access urgent healthcare. At 20 weeks, Ms. Cox's pregnancy had a fatal fetal abnormality with zero chance of survival.
Ms. Cox left Texas for another state to safely receive the urgent healthcare she needs.
For millions of Texans, it's a horrifying example of the gross overreach and personal intrusion by extremist politicians like Gov. Greg Abbott and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.
There's a glimmer of hope, however, John — and Texas Democrats urgently need your help for a full court press.
The court decision is galvanizing hundreds of thousands of Texans who support a woman's right to an abortion. These Texans are turning anger into action.
And that's not good news for Sen. Ted 'Cancun' Cruz and his efforts in the U.S. Senate to implement a national abortion ban.
