Kate Cox, a mother from Texas, was denied an emergency abortion by the Texas Supreme Court despite her fetus receiving a fatal diagnosis. The court ruled on whether a woman can get an abortion for the first time in 50 years. This decision has sparked a national debate on reproductive freedoms and the impact of extreme abortion bans. Experts disagree about the legal risks faced by those who helped Cox get the abortion out of state. Cox's case has shed light on the failure of medical exceptions in Texas' abortion policy, and has drawn widespread support for her cause.
There are no exceptions to Texas’ abortion ban. Kate Cox’s doctor was clear her daughter wouldn't live and her life was at risk, yet Kate was outrageously denied an abortion & health professionals across TX were threatened w/prosecution if they aided her.https://t.co/ddliqlhVJ2
We've been blown away by the outpouring of support for our incredible, brave plaintiff Kate Cox. In sharing her story, Kate showed the world that abortion is health care, and exposed the truth about Texas’s “medical exceptions” policy: it doesn’t work, and it was never meant to.
Kate Cox, a mother of two from Texas, has been refused an abortion in her home state, even though her baby would likely not survive and the pregnancy could kill her. This is the unthinkable cruelty that abortion bans lead to, writes Ann Furedi https://t.co/XdiSE0kqhT

A mother with a life-threatening pregnancy has been denied the life-saving treatment she needs because of Texas’ extreme abortion ban. It’s the first time in 50 years a court has ruled whether a woman can get an abortion. We need to protect reproductive freedoms in federal law. https://t.co/GEMdoOE05x
Kate Cox's story in Texas isn't an isolated incident. Anti-choice politicians are putting women's lives in danger all across the country, and it's inhumane. Women shouldn't have to beg a court for permission to receive health care. https://t.co/A7DREkjhai
