Women suing Texas over abortion bans give emotional testimony
Women suing Texas over its abortion ban appear in court to testify as part of a daylong hearing. They claim their lives were put at risk due to the bans. Four women and an OB-GYN are expected to testify at hearings on Wednesday and Thursday as part of a lawsuit filed against the state of Texas over its abortion bans. The women are some of the 15 individuals party to the lawsuit who have alleged that their lives were put at risk due to Texas' abortion laws, claiming they were denied livesaving emergency care. Lawyers representing the women are seeking a preliminary injunction on Texas' abortion laws that would allow for lifesaving abortion s. They are asking the court to provide a "remedy applied to patients whose life, Health or fertility is at risk from an emergent medical condition," Molly Duane, a lead attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, said during opening statements Wednesday.
