[quote=Anonymous]OP - I think this sentence says it all...."Although some women with the same conditions as Yeni—hypertension, diabetes, a history of pulmonary edema, severe obesity—end up safely delivering healthy babies, others become so unwell that a difficult question arises."

So, abortion is the first option for at-risk pregnancies?

What if the woman doesn't WANT an abortion?  At the end of the article is this:
"One of her closest friends, Dolores Favela, said, “She and Andrew were so young, and if given a choice they probably would have thought to themselves, We’ll have so much time together, we can have a child later on.” [b]Leticia wasn’t as sure, recalling something Yeni said in passing after her improvement in the Austin I.C.U.: that if a doctor had to choose between saving her or saving Selene, her daughter should come first. Leticia had responded, half in jest, “And who exactly is going to take care of Selene?” “Well, you, Mami!” Yeni said. “Me?” Leticia teased. “If you leave, you better take Selene with you!” Laughing, the women laid the subject to rest, never to discuss it again.[/b]"

There were other details that you omitted as well.... such as:
Glick was given medication to help with her high blood pressure, though she allegedly didn’t take it regularly. 
After returning home from the hospital, she chose to go to work instead of bed rest.

Both you, OP, and the author of this piece seem to believe that a woman who is having an at-risk pregnancy should abort the fetus instead of any alternative.  
And, another thing to note.... this woman died 2 weeks after Roe v Wade was overturned which was June 24, 2022.  
Texas abotion law did not go into effect until Aug. 25, 2022 - which is after her death.
