The court ruled that the lower court made a mistake in ruling that the woman, Kate Cox, who is more than 20 weeks pregnant, was entitled to a medical exception.

Ms. Cox asked the lower court for approval after she learned that her fetus had a fatal condition, and after several trips to the emergency room.
In short, the life or health exemptions to abortion bans in Republican-controlled states are meaningless.
Republicans have a similar stranglehold on both Kansas and Ohio, but the party has a significant split on abortion issues. An awful lot of Republicans see it as a personal freedom issue rather than a “baby murder” issue.
Hardliners like Ken Paxton really aren’t helping the “pro-life” camp.
I hope you’re right.
