It would have been a good idea to seek a second opinion because the suit states that the doctor did not seek a second opinion which violates the hospital policy on seeking relief under Tx law.
And the suit does not indicate a life threatening condition that Ms Cox is experiencing.
And the attorneys for Ms Cox acknowledge that the pregnancy may result in a live birth.
Your first sentence is junk. Any law that requires a Medical Doctor, who is not a lawyer, to go shopping around to see if the procedure violates the law, is a shitty unclear law, which is bad enough when it's a law about littering, let alone about a medical procedure which requires anesthesia, involves blood, etc...
Your second sentence is freaking mansplaining at its worst. The maternal mortality rate in the US is low - but it's a lot higher than the "COVID vaccine mortality rate"! Somehow the government should not be forcing us to take a vaccine because we are all gonna die of myocarditis, but the government can force women to give birth. Childbirth is a life threatening event! Maybe not for YOU, Mr. Man. Which is what has us in this pickle with dicks like AG Paxton.

"“Research says a prolapse happens to 30-35% of women, but I think it’s closer to 50%,” says Hilary Pentz, DPT, pelvic health therapist at the UW Medicine Advanced Manual Therapy and Sports Rehabilitation Center. "
There are complications from pregnancy and childbirth. It seems that you and AG Paxton think "hey, she didn't die, what's the big deal with her vagina falling out of her body? If she has to have a hysterectomy, that's like a great weight loss plan! So what if she can't poop because the feces are bulging into her vagina.
Uterine prolapse repair surgery is very expensive, marginally covered except by cadillac healthcare plans, has pretty pedestrian success rates, and maybe you tune it out while watching FOX but that network is one of the prime targets for TV ads soliciting women for class action lawsuits against medical device companies for failures of the vaginal mesh implant. Childbirth has huge lifetime health ramifications for 50%+ of women. To make a woman be exposed to that risk to deliver a baby that *WILL NOT LIVE* is just bonkers.
"A live birth" - that's a good one. The fetus might actually make it through childbirth before it assuredly dies.
