A Texas judge ruled that the state’s abortion ban is too restrictive for women w/ serious pregnancy complications & must include some exceptions for doctors to avoid criminal charges, marking the first decision countering the law since it was implemented.
State District Judge Jessica Mangrum ruled in favor of a group of women who sued the state over the lack of medical exemptions in the state’s law, arguing the ban would force doctors to delay abortion care that “would prevent or alleviate a risk of death or risk to their health ... for fear of liability under Texas's abortion bans.
The ruling was met with an immediate appeal to the Texas Supreme Court, with the state’s attorney general office arguing the current law already allows for exceptions to allow doctors to avoid legal repercussions.
