17. Opinion - State, National, International
Kate Cox, a pregnant resident of Texas, was rejected to get an abortion in the state of Texas. Her fetus is in fatal condition, so she went to a different state to have the abortion.
Her baby would be born with the disease trisomy 18, which causes newborn babies to have very low survival rate and jeopardize both the baby and the mother's health.
My opinion on the matter is that I believe for certain circumstances that the woman should be able to get an abortion. Especially in situations similar to this one, where the mother and the baby could both experience health problems. I also believe if she wants the abortion and she really thinks that is what she needs, then she shouldn't be punished for leaving the state to receive one.
