Read our privacy policy The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a court ruling that allowed a Dallas woman to seek emergency abortion care after the state’s Republican attorney general intervened. A ruling from the state’s highest court late on Friday followed a request from Ken Paxton just before midnight on Thursday, after a judge in Travis County granted a temporary restraining order allowing Kate Cox to terminate her nonviable pregnancy. “While we still hope that the Court ultimately rejects the state’s request and does so quickly, in this case we fear that justice delayed will be justice denied,” Molly Duane, senior staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, which filed the lawsuit on Ms Cox’s behalf, said in a statement on Friday. Mr Paxton has asked the Texas Supreme Court to rule quickly on the case, stating that “each hour remains in place is an hour that Plaintiffs believe themselves free to perform and procure an elective abortion.” “Nothing can restore the unborn child’s life that will be lost as a result,” the filing said.
