Joe Biden Will Lie About Abortion in His State of the Union
“A pregnant woman does not need a court order to have a lifesaving abortion in Texas.” So declared the Texas Supreme Court on December 11, 2023, in the case of Cox v. Texas.
At issue was Kate Cox seeking an abortion in Texas despite its legitimately enacted law generally prohibiting the procedure. She had received the sad news that her unborn baby was diagnosed with Trisomy 18.
But don’t expect Joe Biden or the Democrats to care about the facts of the case. They are going to use this Thursday night’s State of the Union address to put on an abortion circus and decry the “dangerous abortion bans” that Republicans support.
Kate Cox maintained that she had a medical emergency that necessitated an abortion and that Texas law was preventing that abortion nonetheless.
Before the Texas Supreme Court issued its ruling, she obtained the abortion out of state.
As it turns out, however, the Texas “ban” on abortion, which Biden and the Democrats are going to demonize, does have an exception that would allow Cox to have an abortion if her doctor, using reasonable medical judgment, attested that her patient has, to quote the law,
“a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy that places the female at risk of death or poses a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function unless the abortion is performed or induced.”
The problem is that Kate Cox’s physician, Dr. Damla Karsan, did not make that assertion.
