Kate Cox, Texas woman at center of high-profile abortion case, will attend the State of the Union address ( www.nbcnews.com )

Kate Cox, a mother of two, sought a court order to block Texas' abortion bans after she discovered that her developing fetus had trisomy 18, a fatal diagnosis.

Kate Cox, the Texas woman at the center of a high-profile abortion case, will attend the State of Union address in March as a guest of first lady Jill Biden, the White House said Wednesday.

President Joe Biden and the first lady called Cox on Sunday to hear about her experience and invited her to attend the address, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing.

It will be so pathetic to see the GOP just sitting there and talking instead of respecting the most powerful position in the US, let alone the man himself.

Especially after getting fuck all and diddly shit done in Congress so far.

What do you mean? They've passed three whole stop-gap spending bills! Sounds like six-figure-paycheck effort to me!

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Kate Cox, the Texas woman at the center of a high-profile abortion case, will attend the State of Union address in March as a guest of first lady Jill Biden, the White House said Wednesday.

Cox sought a court order to terminate her pregnancy when she found out soon after Thanksgiving that her developing fetus was diagnosed with trisomy 18, a rare chromosomal disorder that significantly increases the risk of stillbirth or infant death shortly after a baby’s birth.

Cox ultimately traveled out of state shortly before the ruling by the Texas Supreme Court, with her lawyers saying she needed to seek medical care “due to the ongoing deterioration” of her health.

Biden on Monday announced new initiatives on abortion rights during a meeting with members of his task force on reproductive health care access, which fell on the 51st anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling.

Biden on Monday reiterated his demand for Congress to codify protections that were provided by Roe, adding that if a bill were passed, he would “immediately” sign it into law.

The White House and Biden’s re-election campaign have blamed Republicans over their restrictive position on abortion that has spurred bans in states throughout the country, which they decry as part of a “dangerous, extreme, and out-of-touch agenda.”

Keep pushing what the GQP did back in their face, loudly and publicly.
