2023 Crookie Good Guys: Kate Cox And Women Challenging TX Abortion Ban

Kate Cox’s fight for the right to protect her health and against the agony of giving birth to a lethally abnormal fetus got a lot of media attention recently. But there is a group of other women in Texas, with their own pregnancy horror stories, fighting for a real medical emergency exception to abortion the state’s abortion bans.

As Karoli Kuns explained – and Kate Cox’s case demonstrated to us all – medical “exceptions” in abortion bans are nothing but window dressing to make the bans look more humane when, in fact they strike such fear in doctors that the exceptions are all but useless.

That is why the group of now 22 plaintiffs asking the state of Texas to clarify the scope of the “medical emergency” exceptions under its abortion bans is important.

You know their efforts are having an effect too. Anti-abortion Sen. Ted Cruz ran from questions about Kate Cox like he was headed to Cancun in the middle of a Texas ice storm.
