Texas court allows first abortion since ban

ABC  

A Texas judge has ruled that a woman with a complicated, likely non-viable pregnancy can get an abortion, in what her lawyers say is the first such case since the US Supreme Court last year allowed states to ban abortion. Key points: The state's abortion ban includes only a narrow exception on health grounds The ruling does not expand abortion access more broadly Ms Cox's fetus was diagnosed with a genetic abnormality that usually results in miscarriage, stillbirth or death soon after birth Kate Cox, 31, of the Dallas-Fort Worth area filed a lawsuit on Tuesday seeking a temporary restraining order preventing Texas from enforcing its near-total ban on abortion in her case, saying her continued pregnancy threatened her health and future fertility. Ms Cox's lawyer, Molly Duane of the Center for Reproductive Rights, told reporters that Justice Guerra Gamble's order allowed her to obtain the abortion. United States Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade Photo shows A crowd of people carrying placards protest The US Supreme Court overturns Roe versus Wade, the decision which recognised Americans' constitutional right to abortion. Ms Cox's husband, Justin Cox, and doctor Damla Karsan, who said she would perform the abortion if not for the ban, are also plaintiffs in the case.
