Plaintiffs Dr. Austin Dennard, an OB-GYN, with her son, and Lauren Miller, of Dallas, along with others exit the chambers of the Texas Supreme Court after oral arguments in the abortion rights challenge, Zurawski v Texas, filed by 20 women and two OB-GYNs, Tuesday, November 28, 2023, in Austin, Texas.
Allred praised Dennard’s willingness to speak out so other women aren’t forced to leave their states under similar circumstances. Dennard was at her second pregnancy visit, getting routine blood work for genetic screening, when she asked for an ultrasound.As soon as the scan started, she immediately saw something was catastrophically wrong. The diagnosis was anencephaly, a serious birth defect in which the skull and brain do not fully develop.That was July 2022, shortly after the Supreme Court decision that struck down abortion rights established by Roe vs. Wade.
Dennard said she hopes Biden will speak at length about the issue during his speech before Congress to help keep the issue at the front of voters’ minds.
