Houston, December 12 (HS). The Texas Supreme Court on Monday cracked down on Kate Cox, a 31-year-old Dallas-area woman who faced severe pregnancy complications. Cox had been given permission by a lower court to undergo an abortion a few days earlier. The Supreme Court had put a temporary stay on this decision on Friday.
According to America's leading newspaper The New York Times, Kate Cox had sued the state of Texas for providing abortion facilities. After this she left the state to get an abortion. It is noteworthy that abortion is banned in Texas.
According to the newspaper, Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said that the last week of legal trouble has been hell for Kate. Where did she travel to get an abortion? Its details cannot be made public. The Supreme Court has ruled that the woman's attorneys and doctors could not prove Kate Cox was eligible for an abortion under Texas' abortion ban.
Cox, 20 weeks pregnant, learned of the complication with her pregnancy in late November, according to a petition filed in Texas district court last week, according to The New York Times. She discovered the fetus had trisomy 18, or Edwards syndrome. Such fetuses often die before or shortly after birth. It is noteworthy that Kate already has two children. Both the children were born through caesarean procedure.
