The court ruled that the lower court made a mistake in ruling that the woman, Kate Cox, who is more than 20 weeks pregnant, was entitled to a medical exception.

Ms. Cox asked the lower court for approval after she learned that her fetus had a fatal condition, and after several trips to the emergency room.

In short, the life or health exemptions to abortion bans in Republican-controlled states are meaningless.

    Sadly that’s still a win for texas. One less vote against them.

      It’s not like we could get anyone to vote anyway. They had the opportunity to show up and didn’t.

      Just 45.7% of 17.7 million voters showed up.
