Familia demanda a funcionarios de Texas por muerte vinculada a prohibición de abortos

Política

Los familiares de Tierra Walker presentaron una demanda civil en el Tribunal del Condado de Bexar, alegando que la prohibición casi total de abortos en Texas viola garantías constitucionales y contribuyó a su muerte por preeclampsia. La demanda, que también nombra al fiscal general Ken Paxton, al Centro de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Texas en San Antonio y a la Junta Médica de Texas, sigue a una presentación anterior que afirmaba que la denegación del aborto había provocado directamente las complicaciones fatales. Informes previos indicaron que la familia había demandado al fiscal general, a los médicos y a funcionarios estatales, sosteniendo que la negativa a realizar el aborto fue un factor en la muerte de Walker.
