Will Kate Cox get an abortion?

Question

Kate Cox is a Dallas-area mother who found out that her fetus has trisomy 18, a genetic condition that can cause stillbirth or death of a newborn, and puts her fertility at risk. She is currently 20 weeks pregnant. While Texas prohibits almost all abortions, Kate Cox was granted an emergency order that would allow her to get the abortion. Texas attorney general Ken Paxton has said he will sue the doctor who intends to perform the abortion, Dr. Damla Karsan.
