A Texas woman has been granted permission by a judge to terminate her pregnancy due to a lethal fetal abnormality.
The fetus was diagnosed with full trisomy 18, a chromosomal abnormality that is almost always fatal before or soon after birth.
The judge's decision marks the first time in at least 50 years that a judge has intervened to allow an adult woman to terminate her pregnancy.
A Texas woman, Kate Cox, has been granted permission by a judge to terminate her pregnancy due to a lethal fetal abnormality. The fetus was diagnosed with full trisomy 18, a chromosomal abnormality that is almost always fatal before or soon after birth. The decision was made in the context of a landmark case where 20 women are suing over the state's abortion ban after being denied abortion care.
The lawsuit argued that carrying the pregnancy further may result in debilitating complications, including a loss of fertility or even death. The health provider of the woman stated that the fetus is likely to be nonviable even if carried to term. The judge ruled that the woman should be allowed to terminate the pregnancy, and that the doctor performing the procedure should be protected from civil and criminal penalties.
The Texas Office of the Attorney General challenged Cox's claims, and the case may be taken to a higher court. This is the first case in which a pregnant person has asked a court for an emergency abortion since Roe v Wade was decided in 1973. The judge's decision marks the first time in at least 50 years that a judge has intervened to allow an adult woman to terminate her pregnancy.
