Texas Supreme Court hears arguments clarifying abortion ban

7m

The Texas Supreme Court heard arguments in a case brought by 20 women who allege they have been denied emergency care because of the state’s abortion laws. They argue the medical exceptions in the state’s abortion bans are too narrow to protect patients who face pregnancy complications. Geoff Bennett discussed the case with one of the plaintiffs, Taylor Edwards, and lead attorney Molly Duane.
