A group of five women, represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights, filed a lawsuit against the state of Texas on Monday, saying they were denied abortions despite the life-threatening circumstances of their pregnancies.
The 91-page complaint demands the court clarify the circumstances under which doctors can make exceptions to the statewide abortion ban, with the draconian punishments for physicians who cross it intimidating many of them into erring on the side of caution, putting the mother in danger of “catastrophic harms” in the process. “Because of the law, I very nearly died,” plaintiff Amanda Zurawski told. Zurawski had been excited to have her first child, only to go into labor too early.
