Austin, United States: A Texas judge on Thursday (Friday in Manila) allowed a woman with a potentially life-threatening pregnancy to have an abortion in a challenge to the US state's strict laws prohibiting the procedure.

District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble said Kate Cox, who is 20 weeks pregnant, should be permitted to have an abortion under a provision of the Texas law that allows the procedure when a woman's health is at risk.
