The Supreme Court of the state of Texas this Friday temporarily suspended the ruling of a lower court that allowed the Kate Cox miscarriage (31 years old), a Dallas woman 20 weeks pregnantto protect your health.
The Supreme Court has declared that it will not rule until it has more time to study the case, as reported The Center for Reproductive Rights.
Hours earlier, the attorney general of Texas, the Republican Ken Paxtonhad asked the Supreme Court to interrupt the process because Cox’s case did not qualify for the medical exception contemplated in that state to be able to undergo an abortion.
“Every hour that (the ruling) remains in force is an hour in which the plaintiffs believe themselves free to perform and seek an elective abortion,” the conservative prosecutor had argued in the writing cited by the newspaper. The Texas Tribune.
In fact, the Texas Attorney General’s Office had already opposed Cox’s request to terminate her pregnancy. The woman had to go to court arguing that, even though she and her husband desperately wanted to have the baby, his doctors warned him that it was not viable and represented a risk to the mother’s health and fertility.
