Anti-abortion media attacked a Texas woman seeking an emergency abortion, likening the procedure to eugenics – Media Matters for America

Though a lower state court granted Coxs request, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked the states Supreme Court to intervene, and the higher court paused, and later revoked, the decision. Anti-abortion media responded to the lawsuit by demonizing all forms of abortion, with some claiming that terminating a pregnancy based on such a fatal diagnosis amounts to eugenics.
