Kate Cox, a 31-year-old woman in the Dallas area, sued Texas for abortion access due to pregnancy complications.
Despite facing legal challenges, she left the state for the procedure, citing health concerns.
The Center for Reproductive Rights stated her week-long legal ordeal was hellish.
Cox, dealing with a Trisomy 18 diagnosis at nearly 20 weeks, faced risks like gestational hypertension and diabetes.
Texas, with restrictive abortion laws, granted permission, but an appeal and legal threats followed.
On Dec 8, the Texas Supreme Court temporarily halted the ruling.
The case highlights ambiguity in Texas abortion laws and medical exceptions.
