Kate Cox, a 31-year-old woman from the Dallas area facing pregnancy complications who had sued the state of Texas for access to an abortion, has left the state to get the procedure, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights.
"This past week of legal limbo has been hellish for Kate," Nancy Northup, president and CEO at the Center for Reproductive Rights, wrote in a statement. "Her health is on the line. She's been in and out of the emergency room and she couldn't wait any longer." The group notes that Cox is not giving interviews and that the details about where she traveled for the abortion is not being disclosed to the public.

Absolutely abhorrent situation. The "Right" loves to trumpet how they are morally superior to the "Liberal Left" yet in this they are absolutely the "Wrong". Trisomy 18 is almost always universally (as in greater than 98% of cases) fatal for the fetus. To put the mother's life at risk because you think you have some self perception of moral superiority is disgusting.
I've stated before, and still stand by the statement, I disagree with abortion as a form of birth control. In this particular case, I see it as medically necessary as a surgical procedure to repair a shattered bone.
