A judge sided with women who were denied abortions in the first case of its kind since Roe v. Wade's overturn. The Texas judge ruled abortions are legal in dangerous pregnancies or cases of fetal anomalies. Then, the state of Texas stepped in, effectively blocking the judge's ruling through an appeal. A spokesperson from the state attorney general's office called the judge's ruling "an activist Austin judge's attempt to override Texas abortion laws," according to the Statesman. The plaintiffs include several women who were denied abortions in Texas along with multiple obstetrician-gynecologists, according to a press release from the center.
