Abortion plea heard by court in Texas case
In a Supreme Court appearance, attorney Sarah R. Weddington argued that Texas abortion laws infringe a woman's right to decide to have a child. She noted abortion is safer than childbirth, while self abortion remains the most dangerous, and described the Texas provision as allowing abortion only to prevent endangering the mother. The court also unanimously ruled that convicted indigents may receive a free copy of trial transcripts in felony cases upon proper claims.
