Republicans are torturing pregnant women with lethal diagnoses....

An ongoing lawsuit in Texas, brought by the Center for Reproductive Rights, challenges the state's restrictive abortion law under the state constitution. More than 20 women are plaintiffs, and each had medically complex pregnancies, including cases where the fetus could not survive outside the womb. The Texas Attorney General is opposing the case. The video, presented by Mama Doctor Jones, an obstetrician-gynecologist, discusses the lawsuit and the plaintiffs' decision to come forward despite possible backlash from their communities, friends and families. It links to news reports from 2023 for further reading.

• Lawsuit brought by the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of 20+ women
• Challenges Texas abortion law under the state constitution
• Plaintiffs had medically complex pregnancies, some with non-viable fetuses
• Texas Attorney General opposes the case

There is an ongoing lawsuit in Texas in which 20+ women are challenging the legality of the state’s restrictive abortion law under the state’s constitution. Thank you, Dani, for sharing your story and sending me this article. Each plaintiff - including a personal friend of mine who is also a fellow obgyn - had medically complex pregnancies, including cases where the fetuses could not survive outside of the womb. These women deserve our attention and acknowledgement for their bravery in coming forward - especially when doing so could lead to extreme backlash from their communities, friends, and even family. The Center for Reproductive Rights brought the case and Texas Attorney General/cartoon villain Ken Paxton is opposing it as usual. Let’s talk about it.
