Texas judge grants pregnant woman permission to get an abortion despite the state\u2019s ban<\/p>\n

Since that landmark ruling, Texas and 12 other states rushed to ban abortion at nearly all stages of pregnancy. Opponents have sought to weaken those bans, including an ongoing Texas challenge over whether the state\u2019s law is too restrictive for women with pregnancy complications.<\/p>\n
