Pregnant Texas Women Died After Being Denied Care

A pregnant teenager in Texas died after trying to get care in three visits to emergency rooms, ProPublica reports.

“Texas’s abortion ban threatens prison time for interventions that end a fetal heartbeat, whether the pregnancy is wanted or not. It includes exceptions for life-threatening conditions, but still, doctors told ProPublica that confusion and fear about the potential legal repercussions are changing the way their colleagues treat pregnant patients with complications.”
