I'll answer the cliff notes question as we've witnessed you do all you can to circumvent it.

Yes. The cliff notes to this situation is that a person should not be required to follow state law because they are an illegal immigrant.

You can argue the validity/rationale of the state law all you want; however, that does not change to essential matters in this case. If you truly disagree with this instead of simply posting a lot of words and using the bold feature arbitrarily. ask yourself: When was the last case in Texas that made National news because a 17 year old citizen's guardian did not concur with the girl's desire to abort her child.    

The 21st amendment lifted prohibition, does she have the right to drink

The 19th amendment granted women the right to vote. Could this girl vote even if she were a citizen?

If you answered no to either of these then ask your self one final question: Why did you answer no.

The bold feature, as used in my original post, signals 1) article titles and 2) the aspect of the case I found most troubling.  But the bold type puzzled you and you did not grasp my emphasis?

The question of state law was of no interest to me when I posted the original links. 

And the last link I posted was the restraining order, which, if I recall, does not mention state law at all, but a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.  The judge decided this was the "essential matter" and posted "a lot of words" to that effect. No reference to state law and Jane Doe's status as undocumented. Perhaps you need to ask her "when was the last case in Texas that made National news because a 17 year old citizen's guardian did not concur with the girl's desire to abort her child."   

Even the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, is addressing the case as a question of whether federal authorities have a right to block abortion access.  And so that is why I answered "no" to your query about state law.

I will become interested in your state law question if the current ruling on the matter is sent to a higher court and/or eventually reaches the Supreme Court, and I will be especially interested if, owing to Trump's appointee, the ruling is overturned or Roe vs Wade itself is challenged on the basis of state law.
