Texas Supreme Court blocks lower court ruling on abortion case

The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that would have allowed a woman, Kate Cox, to obtain an abortion despite the state's strict abortion laws. Cox sought the exception due to her fetus having Edward syndrome, a condition with a high risk of fetal loss and future fertility impairment. The Texas abortion law bans abortions after fetal cardiac activity is detected, without exceptions for fetal abnormalities. The case is believed to be the first attempt at obtaining a court exemption for an abortion since Roe v. Wade was overturned. The decision has sparked debate and criticism from both the left and right.
