realcaseyrollins ✝️ (npub1q8n…kct8) npub16w3dkmycm6plmn4txrp0th0s97dg35eekt2mnc79qk2l7t6wpqvsky0an4 (npub16w3…0an4) The #Texas Supreme Court has ruled against #KateCox
> “The law leaves to physicians—not judges—both the discretion and the responsibility to exercise their reasonable medical judgment, given the unique facts and circumstances of each patient.”
>
> The court also found that Cox’s doctor – Damla Karsan – “asked a court to pre-authorize the abortion yet she could not, or at least did not, attest to the court that Ms. Cox’s condition poses the risks the exception requires.”
A reasonable reading, it makes sense that the effort would fail if #DamlaKarsan could not demonstrate that #KateCox' life is at stake, which is of course the only exemption in the law anyways.
