Report: Texas Woman Died After Abortion Ban Denied Her Miscarriage Care
A Texas woman died after being denied miscarriage care due to the state's abortion ban, according to a report released by the Texas Tribune on Tuesday. The report found that the woman, who was 35 and had a history of heart problems, went to a hospital in rural Texas in April 2022 seeking treatment for a miscarriage. However, doctors refused to perform an abortion because of the state's abortion ban, which prohibits the procedure after six weeks of pregnancy.
The woman was told that she would have to wait until she was further along in her pregnancy before she could have an abortion. By that time, her condition had worsened and she died from sepsis. The report found that the hospital's refusal to perform an abortion was a "direct result" of the state's abortion ban.
The Texas abortion ban was passed in September 2021 and has been one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country. The ban has been challenged in court, but it remains in effect. The report's findings are likely to reignite the debate over abortion rights in Texas and across the country.
