Texas Judge Issues Temporary Injunction Exempting Women with Complicated Pregnancies from State Abortion Bans

A Texas judge has issued a temporary injunction exempting women with complicated pregnancies from the state's abortion bans. Judge Jessica Mangrum found that there was uncertainty regarding the medical exception to the abortion bans, and that a physician should be able to provide abortion care in the event of a physical emergent medical condition. The ruling is a victory for women's rights advocates, who have long argued that abortion bans should not be enforced in cases of medical emergencies.
