So much for that whole "doctors are simply being overly paranoid in administering justified abortions - we never intended the law to work this way!" talking point thing they were doing. Here we have a woman whom both doctors and judges agree should be able to get an abortion, yet they're like "oh, well, no, that doesn't qualify!"
If this case doesn't qualify, then what does?
And this woman also WANTS to have the baby. She and her husband were trying to get pregnant. Unfortunately, the fetus has abnormalities that mean it won't survive. Without an abortion, she will need to wait until she hits term, have a C Section, and then have a dead baby.
Oh, and thanks to her medical history, she'll likely be unable to have another pregnancy after that C-section. So it's either give birth to a dead baby now and have no more or have an abortion now and (after she recovers) try to have another baby. Only one of these options might result in a baby that's alive and it's the option that includes abortion.
But Paxton will scream about how he's "protecting the unborn baby" without caring that the fetus has a nearly zero chance of survival and without caring that the woman faces potential severe (possibly life threatening) medical complications if she's forced to continue the pregnancy. He'll force women to carry pregnancies to term even if it kills them!
Paxton doesn't give a shit about the fetus. He wants this woman to suffer and be unable to have children because he believes she deserves it.
