Almost a year and a half after the implementation of a controversial abortion legislation in Texas, the law has received its first challenge. Kate Cox, a Dallas mother of two, received devastating news that her latest pregnancy was considered non-viable due to the development of trisomy 18, a lethal fetal anomaly. Cox’s doctors advised her that the pregnancy would be detrimental to her health and future fertility. Texas’ abortion law prevented them from performing the procedure to preserve her health.
