The case of Zurawski v. State of Texas was aimed to clarify the scope of these medical exceptions and to allow doctors to use their professional judgment in determining when an abortion is medically necessary.  Their experiences highlight the real-world consequences of the state's abortion bans and the fear among doctors of facing legal repercussions.
