‘I Don’t Want To Die’: Texas Patients Are Afraid to Get Pregnant

Pregnant residents in Texas are expressing fear for their lives due to restricted access to medically necessary abortions. This concern is rooted in recent deaths of young women in the state. Four women have died, with three of these deaths occurring during miscarriages where medical care was delayed. Another woman, who was 20 weeks pregnant, died from a high blood pressure disorder after being denied a lifesaving abortion by multiple doctors. Further details on these incidents are available from Ms. Magazine, which has reported on the cases of these women, including their personal circumstances and the events leading up to their deaths.
