Hours before the ruling, a group representing the woman, whose fetus received a fatal diagnosis, said she was leaving Texas for an abortion.

The court ruled that the lower court made a mistake in ruling that the woman, Kate Cox, who is more than 20 weeks pregnant, was entitled to a medical exception.

Ms. Cox asked the lower court for approval after she learned that her fetus had a fatal condition, and after several trips to the emergency room.

In short, the life or health exemptions to abortion bans in Republican-controlled states are meaningless.

    If that’s your stance that’s fair, I made an assumption that the downvotes were from people upset that I was explaining why they can’t just allow a rape claim without some confirmation a rape actually happened.

    Edit: I was just explaining the situation, though.

    Edit: also thanks, I appreciate the answer.
