A Texas judge on Thursday granted a request to allow an abortion despite the
state’s strict bans, in the case of a pregnant woman whose fetus was diagnosed
with a fatal condition.

The judge, Maya Guerra Gamble of Travis County district court, sided with the
woman, Kate Cox, who is 20 weeks pregnant, issuing a temporary restraining order
to permit her doctor to perform an abortion without facing civil or criminal
penalties under the state law. The judge, a Democrat, agreed with Ms. Cox’s
lawyers that the procedure was necessary to protect Ms. Cox from a potentially
dangerous birth, and to preserve her future fertility.

The ruling applied only to Ms. Cox, whose case was believed to be among the
first attempts to seek a court-approved abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court
overturned Roe v. Wade last year and allowed states to enact their own abortion
restrictions.
