The Texas Medical Board will discuss language to clarify when a doctor can step in and not violate the state’s strict abortion law. This comes after the Texas Supreme Court called on the board to provide clarification during the Kate Cox case. Last year, doctors told the 31-year-old that her fetus had a fatal condition and that giving birth would also put her health in danger. Cox went to the courts, asking for permission to have an abortion.
"Because in this situation, we're dealing with women who want to be mothers.""What we're trying to do is get the medical board to give a better illumination of what the words ‘reasonable medical judgment’ mean," Steve said. "Because that's the justification for being able to perform an abortion under those circumstances."Last week, Cox was invited by President Joe Biden to sit with the first lady at the State of the Union.
