Texas' Republican leaders have long insisted their state's abortion ban has an exception for medical emergencies. But when a judge affirmed that exception, the state sued to reverse the ruling.
Amanda Zurawski was denied an abortion after she experienced a pre-labor rupture which would have resulted in a miscarriage.afternoon, and Molly Duane had just left for a vacation when she got the news. Women with life-threatening pregnancy complications would be able to get abortions in Texas, a judge had ruled. Doctors who provided that care would be shielded from prosecution by the state.
Fifteen women ultimately joined the case: two OB-GYNs and 13 women who had been denied abortions despite severe pregnancy complications. Duane was elated by the decision. “It was such a clear signal for the district court, for [the judge] to say, ‘Yes, these women’s rights were violated. And no, this shouldn’t happen to people in a civilized country.” She immediately called her clients to deliver the news.
