Quick Glance: Texas AG Argues Women Should Sue Doctors

  • Molly Duane, an attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, argued to the court that doctors in Texas were allowed to perform abortions if they had a 'good faith' belief that they were necessary to save the life of the mother for most of Texas history.
