凯特·考克斯(Kate Cox)是一名女子，去年在德克萨斯州被否认紧急堕胎，周一她宣布再次怀孕。
她的消息是在最高法院否决罗诉韦德案的多布斯判决两周年之际发布的，该判决在全国范围内取消了堕胎的宪法权利。
2023年12月，考克斯起诉德克萨斯州，试图获得紧急堕胎，她说她的医生认为这是保护她的健康和未来生育能力的必要措施。
考克斯的胎儿被诊断为18三体，这种情况被描述为与生命不相容。
这位德克萨斯州两个孩子的母亲曾表示，她“迫切”希望有机会尝试第三个孩子，但由于德克萨斯州的堕胎禁令，她有失去子宫的危险。
德克萨斯州最高法院最终做出了不利于考克斯的裁决，迫使她离开该州去堕胎。
“想要的，祈祷的怀孕有时会以堕胎告终，”考克斯周一在马里兰州的一次竞选活动中说，副总统在那里呼吁恢复堕胎权。
早在三月，她就是第一夫人吉尔·拜登在总统国情咨文中的嘉宾。
回顾她的经历，考克斯说，“我怀孕的每一分钟，对我的健康和未来怀孕的风险都在增加。”她将医生的诊断描述为她听过的“最痛苦的事情”。
“今天，我很高兴地告诉大家，我又怀孕了，”她在欢呼声和掌声中说道。
考克斯说她的预产期是一月份。她说，她希望到那时，“世界将由乔·拜登还有卡玛拉·哈里斯。"
考克斯还感谢拜登和哈里斯为生育权“不知疲倦地斗争”，并敦促选民在11月“恢复我们的生育权”。
Kate Cox, Texas woman who fled Texas to get an abortion, announces she's pregnant at Dobbs event
Kate Cox, a woman denied an emergency abortion last year in Texas, announced on Monday that she is pregnant again.
Her news comes on the second anniversary of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overruling Roe v. Wade -- eliminating the constitutional right to an abortion nationwide.
In December 2023, Cox sued the state of Texas in an attempt to obtain an emergency abortion that she said her doctor deemed necessary to protect her health and her chance of future fertility.
Cox's fetus was diagnosed with trisomy 18, a condition described as incompatible with life.
The Texas mother of two had said she "desperately" wanted a chance to try for a third child but was in jeopardy of losing her uterus due to Texas' abortion bans.
The Texas Supreme Court ultimately ruled against Cox, forcing her to leave the state to get an abortion.
"Wanted, prayed-for pregnancy sometimes ends in abortion," Cox said at a campaign event in Maryland on Monday with Vice President where they called for restoring abortion access.
She had been the guest of first lady Jill Biden at the president's State of the Union address back n March.
Reflecting on her experience, Cox said, "It was every minute that I stayed pregnant, the risks to my health and to a future pregnancy were growing." She described her doctor's assessment as "the most painful thing" she's ever been told.
"Today, I am happy to share that I'm pregnant again," she said to cheers and applause.
Cox said she is due in January. She said she hopes, by then, "it will be a world led by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris."
Cox also thanked Biden and Harris for "fighting tirelessly" for reproductive rights, and urged voters to "restore our reproductive rights" in November.
