AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A pregnant Texas woman who sought court permission for an abortion in an unprecedented challenge to one of the most restrictive bans in the U.S. has left the state to obtain the procedure, her attorneys said Monday.
The announcement came as Kate Cox, 31, was awaiting a ruling from the Texas Supreme Court over whether she could legally obtain an abortion under narrow exceptions to the state’s ban. A judge gave Cox, a mother of two from the Dallas area, permission last week but that decision was put on hold by the state’s all-Republican high court.
“Her health is on the line. She’s been in and out of the emergency room and she couldn’t wait any longer,” said Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which was representing Cox.

Next thing I expect is the Texas legal system to go after her ISP for assisting her in arranging an out of state procedure.

FAR To Many Texans Live Here".

Good for her...Everybody makes out like there is a nationwide ban on abortion...it isn't. Don't like the laws...then leave...the majority of Texas residents do...that is why they were voted in.

The TX Supreme Court ruled against her.
There's nothing pro-life in that decision. It is cruel, disgusting, and hateful.
