  > The Texas Supreme Court on Friday night put on hold a judge’s ruling that approved an abortion for a pregnant woman whose fetus has a fatal diagnosis, throwing into limbo an unprecedented challenge to one of the most restrictive bans in the U.S. > Cox learned she was pregnant for a third time in August and was told weeks later that her baby was at a high risk for a condition known as trisomy 18, which has a very high likelihood of miscarriage or stillbirth and low survival rates, according to her lawsuit. > Furthermore, doctors have told Cox that if the baby’s heartbeat were to stop, inducing labor would carry a risk of a uterine rupture because of her two prior cesareans sections, and that another C-section at full term would would endanger her ability to carry another child. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/texas-supreme-court-pauses-lower-courts-order-allowing-womans-emergency-abortion https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/texas-supreme-court-pa...

    Imagine electing to live in a dystopia like Texas where you can detect situations like this but aren’t allowed to treat them.

  Considering that having a complication during pregnancy could now mean either jail time or death, I don’t know why any well off professional with options would choose to continue to live in Texas.
