Texas Attorney General threatens to go after doctors who give emergency abortion to Kate Cox
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is threatening to prosecute any doctor or hospital that assists in an emergency abortion recently approved by a state judge since the fetus of the women seeking it would likely be born dead. On Thursday, Travis County District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble granted Dallas resident Kate Cox, 31, a temporary restraining order allowing her to terminate her pregnancy. Cox learned at 20 weeks pregnant that her fetus has full trisomy 18, a chromosomal abnormality that will most likely be fatal for the child before birth or very soon after, according to details reported by the Texas Tribune. Even so, Paxton's office issued a statement shortly after the ruling, telling Houston Methodist Hospital, the Women's Hospital of Texas and Texas Children's Hospital in Houston that the restraining order "will not insulate hospitals, doctors, or anyone else, from civil and criminal liability for violating Texas' abortion laws."
