Because it was her fertility and not her life that was at risk it was not a valid exception to the law.

Seems like a "cutting off the nose to spite the face" type of situation that Texas has created.

I also have to say that if we see her face civil or criminal consequences for this it will be one of the largest boons to the pro-choice movement we have ever seen.

I think it would be reasonable to say that, if the Republicans were not attempting to take away abortion rights across every state they have any modicum of control over, the 2024 elections would likely be a legitimate red wave. They still may be, we'll have to see, but they're pushing people, especially women, into the Democrats' arms with these abortion restrictions. Even Ohio, a solid red state for the last 2 elections, thinks Republicans' anti-abortion measures are unsavory.
