A woman with a mental disability was raped in her Texas group home, and needed an abortion.

Under the state's new bill, she would have had to keep the baby.

When Kate was raped by an employee at her Texas group home, she and her family didn't learn she was pregnant until over two months later, when they went to a reproductive health clinic.

Kate, who was in her mid-twenties at the time, didn't know about her pregnancy because she has a disability that causes stunted mental maturation and prevents her from explaining what she experienced.

After Grace McGarry, a healthcare worker at the clinic, confirmed Kate's pregnancy, she was able to get an abortion. That was 10 years ago, McGarry, who still provides abortion care in Texas, told Insider.

If Kate went through the same experience today, she would not have been able to terminate her pregnancy, as she learned of it after more than six weeks.
