A pregnant Texas woman is asking a court to let her have an abortion under exceptions to state’s ban

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A pregnant Texas woman whose fetus has a fatal diagnosis asked a court Tuesday to let her have an abortion, bringing what her attorneys say is the first lawsuit of its kind in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade was overturned last year.
Texas is one of 13 states that ban abortion at nearly all stages of pregnancy. Although Texas allows exceptions, doctors and women have argued in court this year that the state’s law is so restrictive and vaguely worded that physicians are fearful of providing abortions lest they face potential criminal charges.
Kate Cox, 31, is 20 weeks pregnant and has been told by doctors that her baby is likely to be stillborn or live for a week at most, according to the lawsuit filed in Austin. The suit says doctors told her their “hands are tied” under Texas’ abortion ban.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL I'll likely get some backlash from some on here but I'm going to state my opinion. I don't see anything about this being a pregnancy from a violent act such as rape so in my opinion, even if the child is alleged to be a still born or die within a week, having an abortion is messing with God's work. Sorry all of you pro-abortion folks that don't like what I have said but were all entitled to our opinions and beliefs.

Ah, come on, Vic! You always state your opinion and we still love you!
A deformed fetus is "God's work" or the "Devil's work?"

I remember some pregnant women took a medication called Thalidomide during the 50's and traveled to Sweden for an abortion.

SPC (Join to see) It is too bad so many people override certain policies at the expense of others.

CPL Douglas Chrysler - Well, Doug, it's a "cultural war," as declared by the Evangelical Christians. They always want to override certain policies at the expense of others. They don't care about what overriding certain policies might cost others, their "opponents." "Onward (Evangelical) Christian Soldiers, unto WAR!"

SPC (Join to see) Wish I could upload a picture of the dental estimate for my wife I got today. Nothing Christian about them but they sure want war.
