I just read this on NBC News. To think the Texas Attorney General tried to stop it. Fxxk Them!!!

Doctor:
She argued during the hearing that Cox was "at high risk for multiple pregnancy complications including hypertension, gestational diabetes and infection," and said that within the last two days, Cox had to visit an emergency room for a fourth time "for pregnancy symptoms including severe cramps leaking fluid and elevated vital signs.

"Many of Miss Cox’s health risks during this pregnancy will put her life in danger if left untreated, and carrying this pregnancy to term will significantly increase the risks to her future fertility, meaning that she and her husband may not be able to have more children in the future," Duane said."


Stupid TX AG Lawyer:
Johnathan Stone, an attorney with the Texas attorney general's office who represented the state in the hearing, argued that Cox and her husband had not sufficiently demonstrated that they would suffer "immediate and irreparable injury" without an abortion.

"The only party that’s going to suffer an immediate and irreparable harm in this case" if the judge grants the requested order, he said, "is the state."

Stone pushed instead for an evidentiary hearing, saying an emergency order would enable the couple to get an abortion that "can’t be undone" before the court could fully consider the evidence."
