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.

I appreciate this woman subjecting herself as a test case for these draconian laws, but at this point, I'd advise her to take a nice completely unrelated vacation to a west coast state for a while.

Of course, ole Kenny boy will try to prosecute any mode of transportation she would attempt to use at this point.

God I hate this timeline.

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.
