Summary
After Texas banned abortion in 2021, sepsis rates among women hospitalized for second-trimester pregnancy loss rose over 50%, with maternal deaths increasing 33% from 2019 to 2023.
ProPublica’s analysis found that sepsis risk surged when the fetus still had a heartbeat, as doctors hesitated to intervene due to legal fears.
Maternal health experts warn that abortion bans delay critical care, endangering women’s lives.
Texas lawmakers, facing mounting evidence and public pressure, are considering amending the law to better protect patients, but changes remain uncertain.
My mother in law fully believes that liberals have taken over Texas and that they’re over-reporting things like this in order to trick people into believing banning abortion is what caused it.
Give her what she wants, you should inform her that by her political beliefs she should keep her mouth shut for she has no right to speak in the presence of men.
Oh don’t you worry, I’m just waiting for the day she speaks directly to me about these things because I will absolutely whip out the Bible and inform her that she has no right to speak in my presence, nor is she permitted to attempt teaching.
If you’re gonna bring your bigoted book into it, it’s fair game for me to use too.
With a bit of luck she’ll freeze next winter when the power goes out again.
Great job Texas! Idiots
My condolences.
