That’s incorrect, in practice, in Texas. There are states where the government has full power over bodies and does not permit an abortion under any circumstance. A woman cannot get an abortion in a medical facility. The government does not allow it, at all. A woman may request permission from a judge so that government may permit an abortion, but highly unlikely given the woman’s medical circumstances. And, when a woman does request judicial and government approval for her medical procedure, TX Supreme Court has upheld the government’s power to deny it, e.g., see https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/11/texas-abortion-lawsu....
