And moving now from the light hearted 'lol his head is funny' to, 'They want women to die slow and painful deaths.'
Mrs. Cox is a white married woman in her 30s with two young children who has lived in Texas her entire life. Wanting to raise more children in Texas she purposefully became pregnant with her husband, but her fetus has a genetic defect, and it's turning out to be a dangerous pregnancy. The longer it goes on the less likely she can have more children and she might in fact die. The likelyhood of another fetus having Trisomy 18 is only 1%, an early abortion is the best way to make sure she can have many more little babies.
According to the wikipedia the majority of fetuses with Trisomy 18 misscarry, of those that are born 90% die before age one, with a small study showing that almost 10% can make it to ten years old so long as they're willing to suffer through over one hundred different major surgeries over this ten year time.
This seems like a softball case, a way to show even the slightest of decency, and yet here we are, with the Texas Supreme Court denying her request for an abortion. Forcing her to give birth is more important than her life, her fetuses life or her current children's lives.
As Vox points out, this is a trap. They have denied her claim because her doctor refuses to put in writing that she is authorizing the abortion because of medical necessity because the supreme court refuses to protect her doctor from arbitrary lawsuits. Essentially doctors must choose between the life of a patient or the existence of their practice, and will be punished severely for saving the life of a woman through abortion.
