More women sue Texas, asking court to put emergency block on state's abortion law

WASHINGTON (AP) — One woman had to carry her baby, missing much of her skull, for months knowing she'd bury her daughter soon after she was born. Another started mirroring the life-threatening symptoms that her baby was displaying while in the womb. An OB-GYN found herself secretly traveling out of state to abort her wanted pregnancy, marred by the diagnosis of a fatal fetal anomaly.

All of the women were told they could not end their pregnancies in Texas, a state that has enacted some of the nation's most restrictive abortion laws.

Now, they're asking a Texas court to put an emergency hold on some abortion restrictions, joining a lawsuit launched earlier this year by five other women who were denied abortions in the state, despite pregnancies they say endangered their health or lives.

More than a dozen Texas women in total have joined the Center for Reproductive Rights' lawsuit against the state's law, which prohibits abortions unless a mother's life is at risk — an exception that is not clearly defined. Texas doctors who perform abortions risk life in prison and fines of up to $100,000, leaving many women with providers who are unwilling to even discuss terminating a pregnancy.

1. These doctors are cowards, they should help challenge the law

That are unfair to women. These mostly men passing these laws have any business doing so. They will never have to worry about carrying a baby to full term regardless if the fetus will survive, they will not have their lives endangered. They will never have to struggle with their decisions to carry a non viable pregnancy.

And yet, there they are passing laws to endanger the lives of women throughout our state.


Good luck ladies. I hope you win!
