[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“According to state data, even before S.B. 8 half the counties in Texas were unequipped to treat pregnant women, lacking a single specialist in women’s health, such as an ob-gyn or a certified midwife. Multiple doctors told me that the overturning of Roe v. Wade, in June of 2022, exacerbated the crisis, as practitioners retired early or moved to states where they’d have more liberty to make medical judgments. So who, exactly, was supposed to handle the extra deliveries in women’s-health deserts such as Caldwell County? What would become of women in remote locales who experienced a hemorrhage or a ruptured fallopian tube?”

This is long but worth reading. It’s possible that a woman has already died due to Texas’s lack of care for women. OBGyns agree that this patient was so sick so early that she should have been offered a therapeutic abortion to end the pregnancy that killed her. No guarantee that she would have made that choice, but no one made it available to her so we’ll never know.[/quote]
