For the first time since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a court heard in person from women who were unable to end their pregnancies because of state law.
“I didn’t want anyone to get in trouble and I didn’t want to get in trouble,” Brandt told the court.
The proceedings were expected to continue through Thursday. It is not clear how quickly State District Judge Jessica Mangrum will rule on the women's request for an injunction. “Texas law is protecting every child, no matter the circumstances of their conception,” said Dr. John Seago, President of Texas Right to Life.
