Kate Cox, a 31-year-old mother of two in the Dallas area, was eager to have a third child. She recently learned, however, that her third pregnancy would come to a tragic end: The fetus has a genetic condition that’s likely to cause stillbirth or the death of the baby shortly after it’s born. Because Cox’s other children were delivered by cesarean section, this pregnancy creates a risk of serious medical issues — she’s already had four emergency room visits recently — so she went to court to get a judge-approved abortion. A state district judge granted the request.

Texas’ scandal-plagued Republican attorney general, Ken Paxton, nevertheless intervened in Cox’s plight, fighting vehemently to prevent her from receiving reproductive medical care. Republicans on the Texas Supreme Court sided with Paxton and overturned the court order that would’ve allowed Cox to terminate the doomed pregnancy.

The young mother ultimately left the state to receive medical care that would not be available to her in Texas.
