The Texas Supreme Court on Friday night put on hold a judge’s ruling that approved an abortion for a pregnant woman whose fetus has a fatal diagnosis, throwing into limbo an unprecedented challenge to one of the most restrictive bans in the U.S.
The order by the all-Republican court came more than 30 hours after Kate Cox, a 31-year-old mother of two from the Dallas area, received a temporary restraining order from a lower court judge that prevents Texas from enforcing the state’s ban in her case.
In a one-page order, the court said it was temporarily staying Thursday’s ruling “without regard to the merits.” The case is still pending.
She’d also face charges coming back.
Possibly even if she doesn’t come back.
I don’t know if blue states would extradite her though. Many would not. So maybe she could uproot her whole family and life to leave and make a new home. However, she’s super high profile in the Google now; any time she left the state or got pulled over for speeding or something, she’d be vulnerable to harassment. And if Republicans do this to the whole country… Ugh.

I hope she comes back and they decide to make a nice white lady a political prisoner. They’ll get murdered. Maybe at the polls, if they’re lucky.
