Judge Dismisses Abortion Lawsuit in Texas

0:00A federal judge in Texas just dismissed a lawsuit from a South Texas woman arrested over her self-induced abortion right before Roe v. Wade got. Overturned. Back in 2022, LaZelle Gonzales took missile prostal in the Rio Grande Valley, ended up delivering a stillborn baby at the ER and got charged. With murder, spending two nights in jail before charges dropped, hospital staff tipped off the district attorney, who later called it a mistake and apologized, even though Texas law bars charging pregnant women for, seeking abortions. Gonzales sued the DA, his assistant and the local sheriff, claiming they traveled her rights in Star County. The judge ruled her rights weren't violated, closing the book on this post-row clash that exposed how officials sometimes overreach on abortion cases. Local news, powered by AI.
