Texas Woman Files Lawsuit to Let Her Have An Abortion
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A pregnant Texas woman whose fetus has a fatal diagnosis asked a court Tuesday to let her have an abortion, bringing what her attorneys say is the first lawsuit of its kind in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade was overturned last year.
Texas is one of 13 states that ban abortion at nearly all stages of pregnancy. Although Texas allows exceptions, doctors and women have argued in court this year that the state’s law is so restrictive and vaguely worded that physicians are fearful of providing abortions lest they face potential criminal charges.

Is her life in danger ?
If not, then she doesn’t require an abortion. She just wants one for personal convenience
At least be intellectually honest about it.
I think the logic here is that the baby is about to die anyway, so might as well do it now.
You can argue about whether that is acceptable or not, as the logic is akin to mercy killing someone who is on fire and can’t be rescued in time. But I would not call it an argument about convenience.
Do either of you consider the health of the woman in question? Is that even on your radar? Do you care about the health of women? Seriously, this is a question I have. Do you care if her health is in danger, or if her quality of life is compromised. She’s carrying an nonviable pregnancy, and neither of you seem to have any regard for the womans’s health or comfort. Are women just wombs to you fucking chuckleheads? Fuck you.
