Trump's sentencing hearing has been set for July 11, four days before he's expected to accept the presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention.
The court ruled against 20 women who said they were denied medically necessary abortions, saying the medical exceptions in the law were broad enough.TEXAS, USA — The Texas Supreme Court has unanimously rejected the most significant challenge to Texas’ new abortion laws yet, ruling Friday that the medical exceptions in the law were broad enough to withstand constitutional challenge.
Zurawski v. Texas was a pioneering case in post-Roe America, the first challenge to a state’s abortion bans on behalf of women with complicated pregnancies. At least three other states have followed suit, and it led to a related case, in which Kate Cox, an actively pregnant woman in Dallas sued to be allowed to terminate her pregnancy., which many saw as a likely foreshadow of how the court might rule in Zurawski v. Texas.
At a press conference outside the state capitol announcing the lawsuit, Zurawski said she was fighting for all Texans who are “scared and outraged at the thought of being pregnant.” She returned home a few days later mired in a confusing mix of grief and anger, and a few months later, signed onto the lawsuit with the hope that no one would ever have to undergo that experience again.
