He appealed the court order, which has been stayed, throwing Kate Cox's abortion in flux. Hours later, Paxton swooped in with an appeal to the Texas Supreme Court and an ominous threat to prosecute any doctor that provides an abortion to Cox. On Friday, the Texas Supreme Court put a temporary hold on the Travis County judge's order, preventing Cox's doctors from proceeding with the abortion. The Texas Supreme Court has yet to issue a ruling on the case. The Center for Reproductive Rights, which is representing Cox, released a statement saying they hope the Texas Supreme Court ultimately rules in Cox's favor.

Texas is one of 13 states that ban abortion at nearly all stages of pregnancy. The suit says doctors told her their “hands are tied” under Texas' abortion ban. Spokespersons for the Texas attorney general's office, which has defended the ban in court, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. The lawsuit was filed a week after the Texas Supreme Court heard arguments about whether the ban is too restrictive for women with pregnancy complications. A judge later ruled that Texas’ ban was too restrictive for women with pregnancy complications, but that decision was swiftly put on hold after the state appealed.

A lower court judge had blocked enforcement of the ban in certain situations on Aug. 4, but the order has been on hold while the state appeals to the Texas Supreme Court. Oral arguments in the case are set for 10 a.m. (1600 GMT) in Austin. She was told she could not have an abortion until fetal cardiac activity stopped or her condition became life-threatening.

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.
