A grad student in Texas is part of a group of pregnant mothers suing the Trump administration, arguing the recent executive order on birthright citizenship violates the Constitution.
Liza counted the months until Donald Trump would be president. And she counted the months until her baby was due. The timing filled her with dread. She’d learned from a friend that Trump planned to end birthright citizenship, right around the time she’d learned she was pregnant. Last week, the moment she feared came even faster than she expected. “I was shocked that it happened so quickly. … My world fell apart,” says Liza, a grad student in Texas who’s 24 weeks pregnant.
“Time was passing, and this was something that was important to us. And we had reached a point of stability in this country,” she said. And now at 12 weeks pregnant, she says she should be focusing on her baby’s health. But lately, she says her thoughts have been consumed by other worries.
