First Lady Jill Biden Invites Texas Woman Denied Abortion to State of the Union

Kate Cox's Case Highlights Impact of Texas' Abortion Ban, Fuels Biden's Re-Election Campaign

First Lady Jill Biden has invited Kate Cox, a Texas woman who was denied an abortion by the state's Supreme Court, to the State of the Union address in March.
Cox's case made national headlines after she was forced to leave Texas to obtain an abortion for her nonviable pregnancy that threatened her life.
The Bidens thanked Cox for her courage in sharing her story and speaking out about the impact of the extreme abortion ban in Texas.
The invitation is seen as part of President Biden's efforts to make abortion rights a central issue of his re-election campaign.
Cox's case has become a rallying point for Democrats nationally, who argue that Republican-backed abortion restrictions deny women health care and take away their rights.
