Women who sued Texas over abortion law share stories in Dallas

Women who sued Texas over abortion law speak

On Monday, three women who sued the state for the right to get an abortion held a panel discussion at the First Unitarian Church of Dallas.

DALLAS – A key issue in the upcoming presidential election centers around abortion and a woman’s right to choose.

Texas is one of several states that have passed a strict abortion ban, with medical exceptions that opponents argue are confusing.

On Monday, three women who sued the state for the right to get an abortion held a panel discussion at the First Unitarian Church of Dallas.

“My babies had a condition where their brains were not developed, and it was 100 percent fatal,” said Hollie Cunningham.

Cunningham, Amanda Zurawksi and Lauren Miller were three of the original plaintiffs in Zurawski v. The State of Texas. The first-of-its-kind legal challenge sought to provide clarity for doctors and patients experiencing medical emergencies in Texas.

The woman participated in a roundtable to share their experience battling for reproductive freedom in Texas.

“The infuriating part is that as we come together and scream louder and louder about these bans, politicians in Texas still aren’t doing anything,” said Miller.

Miller recalled having to fly to Colorado while she was extremely ill.

Lauren Miller of Dallas shared her story about traveling to Colorado to get an abortion due to Texas’ ban.

She needed an abortion in order to save her twin son’s life.

“We went through security and I remember just staring down at the terrazzo floors at Love Field, rolling my shoulders forward, sucking my stomach in, because I was visibly pregnant at that point, hoping no one would see us and pull us out of line and ask why I was going to Colorado,” she said.

The discussion is part of a national bus tour by the reproductive rights group Free and Just. They call the tour the “Ride to Decide.”

The women say they’re concerned about a potential national abortion ban, depending on who is elected president on November 5th.

“Abortion is healthcare and reproductive rights are human rights,” said Zurawksi.

The stop in Dallas is the first on the tour.

They’re trying to steer clear of politics, but that is tough to do.

“There is an election this year and if this is an issue that speaks to you, that you really care about, educate yourself on the candidates who are pro-choice and show up and vote for them,” said Zurawksi.

The “Ride to Decide” tour is headed to Austin and San Antonio next where local women will continue to share their personal stories in hopes of regaining access to abortion care and reproductive rights.

Dallas Wings bring up Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers for trade talk about first pick

Dallas Wings bring up Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers for trade talk about first pick

The Dallas Wings once again have the first overall pick after winning the 2026 Draft Lottery on Sunday evening. The 2026 WNBA Draft isn’t scheduled until Monday, April 13th, so there is a lot of time for the Wings to evaluate the draft class, but also explore other options for the pick.

Could the Dallas Wings explore trading the first overall pick? It’s certainly not out of the question, and Wings GM Curt Miller is at least open to the idea.

Drake Keeler of IX Sports reported that Wings GM Curt Miller said he he “already received more calls about potential trades for the #1 pick in the upcoming draft than he did in the lead-up to the 2025 draft.” But a lot of that is due to the talent available at the top of the draft.

“The Cailtin Clark draft, there was not going to be a trade, Paige [Bueckers] was not going to be traded, but it will be interesting, and it makes our job fun to listen to those phone calls that come in for the #1 pick. And we’ll do what’s best for our franchise.” Miller said.

Miller is saying that every team knew that they wouldn’t have traded the Paige Bueckers pick last year, and the Indiana Fever wouldn’t have traded the Caitlin Clark pick. Those were generational superstars from the moment they entered college, and the star power and popularity alone would’ve made it hard to trade those picks. The Indiana Fever are the most popular team in the WNBA because of Clark, and no team saw more social media growth this year than the Wings because of Bueckers.

Curt Miller said he’s already received more calls about potential trades for the #1 pick in the upcoming draft than he did in the leadup to the 2025 draft.

As of now, there is no player that is a lock to go first overall, but there are plenty of players who could be considered, including Lauren Betts, Awa Fam, Azzi Fudd, Ta’Niya Latson, and Olivia Miles. If it stays like that all year, and unless the Wings fall in love with a particular player, trading down a few spots may be a great opportunity to gain future draft capital.

If they enter the draft saying “We’d be happy with any of these three players,” they should trade back to the third pick, if the opportunity presents itself and the capital makes sense.

They could also use the pick to trade for a readymade star. A lot of players around the WNBA are entering free agency this offseason, which Miller says having Bueckers and the first pick will be a huge draw in free agency, but the Wings can also be aggressive in trades because of the pick.

Eagles vs. Cowboys Live Updates, Score: Can Dallas Get a Big Win?

We’ve got a good old-fashioned NFC East rivalry matchup in store for “America’s Game of the Week” on Sunday.

The Eagles (8-2) and the Cowboys (4-5-1) meet up in Texas for the latest installment of one of the NFL’s top rivalries. Philadelphia won the first game between these two teams to open the season back in September, taking down Dallas in a game that was much closer than many expected.

However, the Eagles have largely looked the part of a defending Super Bowl champion since that game. They enter Sunday’s tilt as the NFC’s No. 1 seed. The Cowboys, however, have had a bumpy year. They have a tough hill to climb to make the postseason, but it seems possible with newcomer Quinnen Williams leading an improved defensive unit.

Will Philly maintain control of the NFC, or can Dallas start a winning streak and make a playoff push?
