A Texas judge has granted a woman the ability to get an abortion given her rare pregnancy condition.
On Thursday, Kate Cox’s request for an abortion was granted after showing the court that her fetus has a rare condition that could cause stillbirth or kill the baby shortly after it’s born.
Cox also argued that carrying the fetus would negatively affect her fertility in the future.
Judge Maya Guerra Gamble stated that abiding by Texas’s abortion restrictions would be a “miscarriage of justice.”
“The idea that Ms. Cox wants desperately to be a parent, and this law might actually cause her to lose the ability is shocking and would be a genuine miscarriage of justice,” the judge said. “I will be signing the order and it will be processed and sent out today.”
Cox’s case is reportedly the first attempt to get a court ordered abortion after the United States Supreme Court gave the authority to allow abortions to the states in its landmark Dobbs decision.

In light of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, what implications does the Texas judge’s decision have for states’ autonomy in regulating abortion
Nformed with the latest news and updates from One America News Network by following us on Twitter @OANN.
In a groundbreaking decision, a Texas judge has granted Kate Cox, a 31-year-old mother-of-two, permission to undergo an abortion due to her rare pregnancy condition. Cox’s fetus has been diagnosed with full trisomy 18, a condition that poses a high risk of stillbirth or neonatal death. Furthermore, Cox argued that carrying the fetus to term would have a detrimental impact on her future fertility.
Judge Maya Guerra Gamble, presiding over the case, expressed her belief that enforcing Texas’ strict abortion laws in Cox’s circumstances would result in a grave miscarriage of justice. “The idea that Ms. Cox, who deeply desires to be a parent, would be forced to forfeit her ability to do so by this law is shocking,” the judge remarked. “I will be signing the order today, ensuring that Ms. Cox can proceed with the abortion.”
This ruling marks the first instance of a court-ordered abortion following the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which reaffirmed the authority of individual states to regulate abortion within their boundaries. The impact of this landmark case remains to be seen, as it grants states greater autonomy in determining the legality of abortion.
The Texas judge’s decision has sparked both support and controversy. Proponents argue that this ruling respects a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body and acknowledges the serious medical concerns in Cox’s case. Opponents, however, view the ruling as an infringement on fetal rights and a dangerous precedent that may lead to increased access to abortions.
As the legal landscape surrounding abortion continues to evolve, it is essential to keep abreast of the latest developments.
