Texas abortion ruling: Judge grants woman’s request to have abortion under the state’s medical emergency exception | CNN
Trisomy 18, sometimes called Edwards syndrome, is a chromosomal condition that can cause heart defects and other organ abnormalities. In about half of the cases, the fetus dies before birth. Many children who are born with it die within a few days, and more than 90% die within a year.
Attorneys for the state argued Cox’s condition – as laid out in the court filings – was not severe enough to meet the state’s medical exception standard and that the judge would be essentially changing the law if she granted the temporary restraining order.
Cox’s gynecologist, Dr. Damla Karsan, has previously said she had a “good faith belief” that Cox falls under the legal exception to the abortion ban, but couldn’t provide the abortion without a court order because she “cannot risk loss of her medical license, life in prison, and massive civil fines” if her belief is not accepted by the courts.

One of the biggest wackjobs in the Jan 6th crowd got 11+ years today. He gave a long rambling diatribe full of conspiracy theories at his sentencing, including that he thinks Ashli Babbit was a "psy-op" and that she's not really dead. Babbit's mom was in court today because she "supports" all these creeps, so I wonder how she felt about THAT accusation.
