Discover how Texas woman Kate Cox secured emergency abortion rights in a groundbreaking court decision, challenging restrictive laws and reshaping reproductive freedom.
Attorney General Ken Paxton warned hospitals they were liable to imprisonment after a judge granted a woman with an unviable pregnancy a temporary exception.
The judge’s order “will not insulate you, or anyone else, from civil and criminal liability for violating Texas’ abortion law,” attorney general writes in letter.
The order came after Kate Cox received a temporary restraining order from a lower court judge that prevents Texas from enforcing the state's ban in her case.
