Opinion: Exceptions to abortion restrictions often fail people like Kate Cox whose babies are sure to die
Exceptions to abortion restrictions often fail people like Kate Cox whose babies are sure to die.
Imagine being in the midst of your pregnancy, and you learn that your baby is unlikely to live for more than a few fleeting moments after birth. There is no cure for their condition. Nothing can prevent their death.
Most people think they will never be in such a situation. And most people are right. But Kate Cox’s case in Texas this week serves as a stark wake-up call to the nation: This could happen to you or someone you care about, and medical exceptions to anti-abortion laws won’t offer a safe haven.
