- The Texas Supreme Court overturned a lower court ruling that would have allowed a woman to have an abortion due to medical concerns. Before the ruling, Kate Cox, whose fetus received a fatal diagnosis, decided to leave the state to have the procedure. NBC News' Maura Barrett shares the details on Cox's case and her doctor's concerns for her pregnancy.

Yup, this is family values... risking the life of a mother of 2 live children by forcing her (AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE) to carry a non-viable fetus. THIS IS INSANE! What if she couldn't afford to go elsewhere. She easily could die, leaving her 2 live children motherless.
Proof that Republicans only are concerned about the child before birth and not after
The child has Edwards syndrome. Her life is not in danger and her child isn't "nonviable." Many children with the syndrome die within a year, but they can also survive into adulthood.
@@Tengokuchiand what medical training do you have to make that decision with the limited knowledge you have on this case?
@@Tengokuchiok doc 😅😅😅

Most children with Trisomy 18 do not live beyond the first two weeks of life and fewer than 10% will live beyond the first year of life typically due to significant heart or lung defects. A small number will reach their teen years but often require continuous care and extensive support for daily living.
I dont get it. For a state that cares so much about children being born. I find it interesting that we ( texas) rank low, if not the lowest, in most articles when it comes to child health care.
They don’t want children born they want women controlled
The labor force doesn't have to be HEALTHY lol
Poorly aged white♀️ complaining
The crux is the transition of born. Before they are adamant in their decision (and legislation) for that child to be born. After that it's the (derogatory label) mother's problem. Go get a job and quit sponging taxpayer money. (That's THEIR job).
I'll never understand why they think it's ok to put someone through this
If you believe a government should exist you have to be okay with it doing things you don't agree with. We can't have a government we all agree with since others have opposite ideas.
@@bane3991there is no sides on this though … the baby has no chance on living after birth & if she carries it full term she can become infertile … like how are we forcing a woman to go through that, how does any human being genuinely think that’s okay? let’s be real here
That is absolute torture and cruel..they clearly are not pro life cause the them a mother's life doesn't matter.
@@bane3991 Religion has no place in government.
exactly how can you be sure the baby has no chance of living? Imagine what your life would be like that if someone assumed that about you? Oh that's right you wouldn't be able to cause you wouldn't exist.@@kobemartinez1082

They are so pro-life that they are okay with other people dying from a disease and / or pregnancy complications.
well just like you said, you infringed on their rights first. Your party set the precedent. FORCE people to do as you command. Its sad, but this is whats its become.
I was forced into a vaccine and I'm a woman. Where was my choice? That medical decision was forced on me. It turned me very prolife. The argument the left made obviously wasn't cohesive or true.
She’s gone elsewhere. She needs to find out if she will be prosecuted for murder if she returns to Texas. That state and paxton will stop at nothing to prosecute and penalize women for making decisions about their own body. She needs to make plans.
Put her in prison for daring to defy the great RNC.
I agree, if I was her I’d be moving to another state and never looking back.
@jjohnson796 Abortion is Healthcare.
They cannt go after her, they will go after her husband , Dr and anyone else that has helped.her in any way....they will.punish her for wanting to live and possibly have another baby by going after her support group and every loved one who has helped her...just sickening
@@stephanieb1574 It wouldn't surprise me if they DID enact some stupid law allowing prosecution of the mother they way they are going. I seem to recall some state threatening to prosecute and fine a mother for that procedure. If a politician doesn't have a uterus, they should keep out of the discussion and lawmaking relating to women's bodies and women's health.
Now we have the party of "small government" getting involved in all facets of healthcare and mandating what care a person can or cannot get. Sickening
It's both parties. Only 2 years ago the other party was forcing injections on everyone.
Describing killing a life as a form of “care” is what’s sickening. A doctor swears to “do no harm,” it’s downright insane (but not surprising sadly) that they need to be reminded of that.
@AdamFontenet-iy3tb did you not get the part where this is a non-viable pregnancy? The baby is almost guaranteed not to survive, if not have SEVERE issues...plus the fact it puts the woman at risk of not being able to carry another baby after. This baby has already lost their "right to life" and forcing her to deliver them means any possible future babies are likely denied their "right to life"..
@@Slender_Man_186 go learn what insane means and how to use it properly before you're taken seriously....also you can't do harm to an unborn thing. If you an embryo is a human being, you are "insane". But sure, let's make the mother give birth to someone who has a high chance of extreme suffering their whole life just to please you self righteous ideologues. Let's also force her to potentially never be able to give birth again to please you. No harm done in any if that right? You deranged sadist
@@CaliSteve169 Lol apples and oranges. Try harder.

@@cookieplayz8675?
@UnknownHuman94 I couldn’t agree more with that last part
They never actually state that the child is dead. They say the pregnancy is nonviable, but only cite the diagnosis of Edwards syndrome. If the child was dead, wouldn't they have said so?

Don't understand why the government thinks they are entitled to her decision.
Because there's this little thing called life liberty and the pursuit of happiness that that baby is entitled to.
@@gracetruthandlightThe "baby" won't survive. Do you not understand what "non-viable" means?
@@gracetruthandlightThat baby is not a baby yet first of all and is not a viable life. There is potential that the mother(who has young children at home already) could also die or be rendered barren as a direct result of trying to finish this pregnancy. How idiotic your statement is!? Good grief!
Unfortunately, Congress never made abortion law, and the Supreme Court stopped supporting it. Now the South is taking us back in time when women had little autonomy over their own bodies, and people in the South keep allowing these fools to remain in power.
@@gracetruthandlight ... the Mother is a human being also.
What are her Rights now that she has already been born and definitely, past the fetal stages. And did you not get it when they said the baby, when born will not live. So that baby, has no rights, nothing. It will never live.... If you're trying to make a point, maybe take a different approach instead of contradicting yourself.
The deplorables will go to any lengths control someone’s body if it’s something THEY feel strongly about. When the situation was reversed during Covid they yelled and screamed “my body my choice!” They don’t even see the irony and hypocrisy
Well the circumstances are completely different. You’re comparing the termination of a baby vs getting coerced into getting a brand new injection you don’t want or need
Thank you, Hilary for that update. If you somehow think these two are comparable all the more better, we didn’t elect you as president.

I hate that this woman has to go through this so publicly and I sincerely pray she’s getting the healthcare she needs during this difficult time.

Carrying a baby to term who may not live, you would have the privilege of showing that baby love and care by providing them a warm place to live inside of you for their very short time here on earth.

@@AlexGarcia-ij5bcwas the fetus dead? Then it's not an abortion. Was the fetus alive and are most trisomy 18 babies born alive? Then it's not non viable
@AlexGarcia-ij5bc to my knowledge this woman's life is not in danger, her unborn child has trisomy 18, which is not a risk to the woman at all. It's not legal to end the life of a 2 year with a disability, nor should it be legal to end the life of an unborn child with disability.
And close your legs if you don’t want babies. They’re not all healthy you know
This is scary. I had a miscarriage in 2021. Except my body didn’t expel the fetus naturally. I NEEDED an abortion since it was well over 2 weeks since the fetus had stopped developing and it was causing me horrible pain and sickness. Couldn’t even keep water down. We wanted a baby, and we still do. But these laws have put a pause on us continuing to try. This wasn’t my first miscarriage, and now, if I have another one, it could be me who dies. But yes, being against abortion is being “pro-life” 😂
That's not an abortion! You're baby, unfortunately, already died and you had to have it removed. WAY different than purposely killing an innocent baby out of convenience.
I truly believe these people consider women to be expendable.
You had a fetal demise. Thats not the same as delivering a living Trisomy 18 (although it will die shortly after). I had a neihhbor who chose to carry her non-viable child, and held it as it died in her arms after a few hours. Lungs didnt work well. That is tragic. But it is also tragic to tear the child to pieces while it still lives. Abortion isnt exactly a "humane" procedure. Animals are treated more kindly when they are put down at the pound.
Please get educated. "Under the law, it is a doctor who must decide that a woman is suffering from a life-threatening condition during a pregnancy, raising the necessity for an abortion to save her life or to prevent impairment of a major bodily function,”
well considering those animals can live by themselves and not growing off another human being... how about we respect the living before the unborn

The government is not the parents. If a couple is trying for a baby, they need to be aware and prepared for the possibility their baby may have a disability.

You’re making generalizations that don’t apply in this context. The government only cares about telling women what we can do with our bodies. Sitting from your place of privilege, I’m not surprised you missed that.
@@brittneeparker1076 what privelege? Or do you just assume anyone who disagrees with you is more privileged than you?
The title makes it sound like the Texas Supreme Court is stopping her from getting an abortion in another state.
How sad is the state of America that people can’t even make their own choices ridiculous
Because the choice of murder should never be allowed
yeah , it's sad that that baby can't choose if he/she wants to live or not
Many of us were not allowed to make our own choice when it came to the Democrat job on a Democrat developed virus which they did in conjunction with Chinese laboratories.
My employment was threatened because of it so I just retired early. Not everybody is so lucky.
If this is a true medical case, “ choice” would not be needed. Choice is used in elective abortions, not true emergency ones. Please keep up.
@@seanfatzingerDamn right wing Christian fundamentalist!
Makes me really hope these old men making these laws and decisions come back as women and face the mess they created.
I'm trying to understand why Trisomy 18 in the unborn child is dangerous to the mother? In addition abortion actually makes it harder to get pregnant in the future. So how will that help her in the future? And lastly what if the doctors are wrong? What if the baby is perfectly healthy? That has happened before...
My son was "diagnosed" early as Downs. We planned and prepared all the way through for this, deciding to love him no matter what. He came out not having Downs.
@benbirch2393 exactly, I have family members that experienced this exact scenario
@@benbirch2393same for my daughter. Drs advised to abort, fought with husband on issue. Prayed. She was not Down's but an extremely gifted high IQ, physically beautiful, excelled in all she did, academics, sports, arts.
Doctors are not always right!!!!
@@benbirch2393 that's literally not the scenario so your irrelevant story means nothing
Good to see some common sense. If she wants to get pregnant again applying medical grade suction to your uterus with 2 c section scars is not your risk free option (there is no risk free option)
I am so disgusted by the actions of Ken Paxton and the state of Texas. What a vile hateful place it has become causing physical and mental harm to women as a matter of a state policy that was never voted on by the people of Texas.
I hope she does travel out of state. It’s hard to even hear this story. I’m not even in this situation and I don’t even know this woman but it gives me so much stress. I remember reading a story about a woman who had to pay $10,000 because she couldn’t get one in her state and she wanted to save her baby pain. It was non viable but she was able to borrow money and put it on a credit card. Not many people have $10,000 to do that. I hope this woman can travel to another state like my state of Illinois and get the care she needs.
She did
You could not pay me to live in Texas or any state with similar laws, and I cannot even get pregnant.
then thats just stupid lol
No, I believe strongly it should be every woman's right.@@asdfasdfasdf4746
I love Texas born and raised, and will never leave.
We were going to offer you 30 cents to come to Arizonia but no way now!
I have family in Texas and visited it, but yikes the politics@@rcwarrior868
She already left state to have the abortion, so the scotus ruling is moot. What isnt moot is her right to sue the living daylights out of ken pacton for putting her life in undue danger.
How much time did she waste getting lawyers, waiting for a court date etc... She risked her own life 🤷♀️
That's okay she will make millions as a puppet for the Left and Hillarys new talking point!!@@darlalei4303
If a state prevents an abortion
Then pay for that child/adult for the rest of their life.
It takes a village to raise a child…that village needs to pay

If the state prevents the murder by the parents of a 2 year old, they do pay for them if no one else steps up (foster care). The ideal scenario is when the parents do not try to destroy their offspring, though
It's funny how Republicans are all about rights but not when it comes to women and minorities
they love big government when they agree with it. freedom, but only for me.
It's funny how Democrats are all about rights but not when it comes to the 2nd amendment and COVID vaccines.
Don’t tread on me
Funny how democrats are all about women and minorities but not when it comes to babies.
Abortion isn't a right, funny how silent you clowns are when male grape victims are ordered to pay child support to the women who graped them
The Texas AG needs to be fired.
He should be in jail or at the very least out of office due to his criminal activity.
I hope she can afford to move. I’m devastated that they do this. 😢 praying for her.
Delusional
@@ashen_BA-Pillman shock, judgement from another cis gendered yt man who can’t procreate. 🙄 color me shocked. 😂
How sad and tragic that she must choose to abort her pregnancy and then have to fight for her basic right to get the medical care she needs.
This is what I was afraid of. How dare the government force her to endure this?
I’m so sick and tired of being a second class citizen as a woman in Texas!
You have all the rights men do. You aren't a second class citizen. You can't end the life of another human being just like men can't either. Abortion is just that, the deliberate ending of another humans life aka murder. But let's dress it up and make it sound nice and call it "healthcare"..
Try New York city, Chicago or California. They go for anything!!!
Move, I'll pay for your ticket out.
I live in Texas. Can we please vote out Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott? The pregnancy is nonviable. What is the point of her going through the pregnancy? Considering that Texas has one of the worst foster care systems, caring for kids can't be a real motive for these inhumane and expensive policies.
Because “pro-lifers” are never about life of babies. They’re about controlling women just like Taliban
why are you staying ion texas? they hate you.
She's already dealing with so much, and now it's public since she had to go to court...so gross.
Heart goes out to her.
Gross? Taking a life is a serious decision. However, if it is t viable, she should be able to terminate the baby.
@@user-wm9jy6xb3q yes is gross because the baby has no chance on living regardless and if she carrys it full term then she will become infertile so please tell me how any of this is okay? baby is dead and y’all wanna force her to carry it and then become infertile with a dead baby? yeah makes no sense at all
Something is not right here.
This has never been life, it's about controlling women.
And the psyop rages on.
Do people who object to the government telling them what they can or can't do with their body also object to laws that prevent them from murdering other people with their body? Why is ending another person's life considered no big deal in some situations and a terrible crime in other circumstances? (Hint: it's terrible in all cases)
This is why the right to life is enshrined in this country's founding documents.
The life isnt started its a fetus and an unviable one at that.
@@_Turtle_42010% of people with trisomy 18 make it to their first birthday
You're right
@@MrPladdy Actually it's 5% to 10% survive the first year.
Again Texas. Shame on you!
Are you kidding me!? I feel so horrible for this woman. Sad sad
Wow! This is America and Freedom????
You are free to move to any state you want to if you dont like their laws
@@davemulka18lets do it
@@davemulka18so anyone with an unviable pregnancy needs to move away from their home and uproot their life?That’s insane
I wouldn't be surprised if the "authorities" have her followed and arrested. Along with her providers. The GOP is a cruel bunch.
Killing your own babies is cruel
Four Texas counties have outlawed the act of transporting another person along their roads for an abortion. So if she travels by car, they will likely try to follow her to see if she travels through either of those counties.
I wonder how her spouse must feel watching another man tell his wife what she can and can't have concerning their pregnancy. Paxton might as well be standing in their bedroom next time. This is pathetic but not surprising coming out of Texas!
Here’s hoping the child is not murdered.
Bs and question why would you try again if you are likely to have same complications- she’s still murdering a child
This is appalling and horrifying. I'm lucky to live in a pro-choice state, and I'll never leave. I'd never want to live somewhere where my livelihood is in the hands of laws that don't care about my health or well-being. I can't imagine what this lady is feeling.
No, she lives in a state that cares about the health and well being of innocent babies as well as mothers. Luckily for you, as you said, you don't have to live there. I assume the folks of Texas would prefer if you stayed where you are. This is what democracy looks like. It's their state, their laws, their culture.
@pilotmorgan8669 They don't care about her health! For the love of God, everyone is mad because this woman can die!! Was the news in another language or something?
@pilotmorgan8669 .... yep.... that's the people of Texas for you... remember... their ancestors believed in owning black people so it makes perfect sense that the Texans of today believe they have a right to own women!!!!
I'm a woman. I was forced into a vaccine I didn't want. I don't want to hear another woman scream about "my body my choice". Hypocrites.
@@kiyoko5523Nonsense. Killing a baby is NOT Health care. It won’t help Mom either.
Ugh. I cant even imagine having an abortion at 20 weeks pregnant.
Only a devil would do it.
@@benbirch2393 wrong only person that needs to do it do it… Stop telling my things you don't understand
not a liberal, I see. smart.
Trisomy 18 definition, an undeveloped body. It's highly likely that'll have life threatening issues throught out the entirety of its life. Now, complications for the mother, thats every pregnancy. Every woman runs risks every time they're pregnant. My opinion on why she wants to abort is due to the baby have life threatening issues, she doesn't want to go throught that.
Maybe try explaining it in detail instead of falsifying information
Truth teller, youre dangerous
To be fair to them, that's not what they did. They said it wasn't up to any court to decide. The doctors involved had already made the decision and abided by current state law. The worry now is dealing with that putz, Ken Paxton
And I’m sure she’s been offered beautiful safe places to stay as well. This is truly horrific. Emergency abortion… i have no words anymore
she has a place to stay and has other children, that's not the issue. The pregnancy is not viable and its putting her at risk
@@KKISCRAZYFUL10% of trisomy 18 babies live to age 1, and the oldest living person is 43. I think the problem is that it is viable, not that it isnt
@@MrPladdy Who will pay the millions of dollars in medical bills for hopelessly severely deformed and doomed babies? All of us will in the end. Birth defects are classified as pre-existing conditions. Republican politicians want to end coverage for pre-existing conditions.
How can one man overrule a states Supreme Court decision? Seems like the Texas AG isn’t concerned with the rule of law only ruling over its citizens.
It should be her choice it's her life not texas's life we only live once we should have the choice of what we can do to our bodies
"likely", "could"
Another reason why i would never vote red
Hillary Clinton sends her Love. Bill Clinton is not home at this time.
Shame on Texas!!
Are you still in russia or some other third world country?
Im not a fan of abortion at all but if there was ever a reason this is it. The government should back off in this case😵💫😵💫
Her risk of uterine rupture is higher with a fetus with normal chromosomes because that fetus would have a bigger head
What's really scary is animals will fight anything, anyone to protect their babies, only humans are convinced that's it's good to murder theirs. It just goes to show how wicked humanity has gotten.
There shouldn’t have to be laws to prevent a mother from murdering her own child.
How many babies have you adopted
@@my98-ot7jjit's not anyone's responsibility to take care of your mistakes. She is more than half way through her pregnancy, it's not a fetus anymore, it's not a clump of cells. At 20 weeks the baby can hear and is becoming aware . You're are sick in the head.
Well since it's a fact that abortion is murder Carolyn why don't you mind your own business and stop talking into you know what you're talking about.
@@keithziegler8881 abortion isn't murder. There has to be a person in order for it to be murder.
What a horror for this woman, and the poor baby. 😢 Nobody wins. How could this have happened???? Disgraceful, my heart breaks for her 💔
I'm not sure murder would feel any better to the baby... just sayn. Abortion seems like a very painful way to go.
@miss_bhello7925 the baby is better to die outside the womb then. Okay. Either way, nobody wins. Would you like to carry, birth, and watch your baby die? All the while knowing you can do nothing about it because the government stops you from making a decision about your own body???? Anyways....
#stopgeriactricpregnancy
@@miss_bhello7925 The FETUS is NOT VIABLE you lunatic. Additionally, carrying this nonviable fetus can jeopardize this woman's ability to have VIABLE pregnancies in the future.
If only we did all this thinking before laying down. Poor poor unfortunate events hmm ? Cross state, have a good trip. 😂😂
I know it's not ideal but women need to move out if states that have these laws. Lawmakers only understand things when they loose money.
They have NOJurisdiction across state lines!
Just like those uppity states refusing to obey the Fugitive Slave Act
