Texas Woman Flees State After Ken Paxton Stops Her Life-Saving Emergency Abortion
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2023-12-12

A Texas judge allowed a 31-year-old mother of two to have an abortion after her doctor determined her pregnancy was life-threatening and the fetus was non-viable. Then Texas’ Attorney General Ken Paxton intervened to force her to give birth, and successfully got the Texas Supreme Court to block the procedure. Cox was then forced to flee Texas to receive healthcare from a different state. We’ll break down the details of this shocking—but unsurprising—story in this video.
