A Texas judge allowed a pregnant woman, whose fetus has a fatal diagnosis, to obtain an abortion, challenging the state's restrictive ban.

Kate Cox, a Texas mother of two, is at the center of a legal challenge after being granted permission by a state judge to have an abortion despite her fetus having a fatal condition. The Texas Supreme Court has paused the ruling, creating uncertainty over her right to an abortion under the state's ban, which has no exceptions for fetal anomalies.
