The sinister court decision denying Kate Cox an abortion, explained

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : The insidious thing about the court's brief opinion in this case, which has the uninformative name In re State of Texas, is that, at first glance, the opinion appears to be protective of patients like Cox.
46% : (Cox fled Texas to obtain abortion care in another state, but the state Supreme Court's opinion will apply to other patients who receive a similar diagnosis.)
46% : The Texas Supreme Court, which is made up entirely of Republicans, claims that "the law leaves to physicians -- not judges -- both the discretion and the responsibility to exercise their reasonable medical judgment."
37% : The letter goes on to threaten criminal prosecutions against Karsan and against any hospital where Karsan performs an abortion.
