In Arkansas, Emily Waldorf Nearly Died After Being Denied Miscarriage Care — ProPublica

Treated as a Liability: Emily Waldorf was denied care for a risky miscarriage due to Arkansas’ abortion ban, even after she met the hospital’s CEO, called the governor’s office and got a lawyer. 

Lawyers, Not Doctors: Medical standards say it’s necessary for doctors to offer abortion. Women have died without it. But in states with bans, lawyers often decide if patients get care. 

An Isolated Fix: Texas recently provided guidance that says doctors don’t need to wait for miscarrying patients to get sicker before intervening. Arkansas and other states have not...

Texas Medical Board Disciplines Doctors in Porsha Ngumezi and Nevaeh Crain Cases — ProPublica

Maternal care experts say health care providers will continue to hesitate to offer standard care as long as bans carry serious criminal consequences — Texas’ law can put a physician behind bars for 99 years. But those who spoke to ProPublica say that medical board sanctions are one of the few levers that can provide a counterweight, pushing hospitals and doctors to provide standard care despite uncertainty over vaguely written laws...

5 ProPublica Investigations Sparking Change in February — ProPublica

The new mandated training for any doctor providing obstetric care goes over nine case studies for physicians where abortion is considered legal to protect the life of the patient. Some of the scenarios in the training are similar to instances ProPublica investigated, such as miscarriages where a patient's water breaks before term but there is still a fetal heartbeat or when someone is experiencing complications from an incomplete abortion. 

ProPublica's reporting has shown that pregnancy became far more dangerous in the state after the law took effect: Sepsis rates spiked for women suffering a pregnancy loss, as did emergency room visits in which miscarrying patients needed a blood transfusion; at least four women in the state died after they didn't receive timely reproductive care. More than a hundred OB-GYNs said the state's abortion ban was to blame…

‘I was violated and put in extreme danger’: women denied abortions sue over Arkansas ban

It argues that the laws banning abortion in Arkansas – there are two virtually identical laws on the books – must be struck down because they violate the state constitution and its guarantee that people have the right to equality, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These anti-abortion laws, the lawsuit alleges, not only infringe on people's right to choose how to build their families, but also threaten their lives, fertility and economic wellbeing…

Under Texas’ Abortion Ban, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage — ProPublica

While they can be lifesaving, transfusions do not stop the bleeding, experts told ProPublica, and they can introduce complications, such as severe allergic reactions, autoimmune disorders or, in rare events, blood cancer. The dangers of hemorrhage are far greater, from organ failure to kidney damage to loss of sensation in the fingers and toes. "There's a finite amount of blood," said Dr. Sarah Prager, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Washington. "And when it all comes out, you're dead." 

ProPublica's findings about the rise in blood transfusions make clear that women who experience early miscarriages in abortion ban states are living in a more dangerous medical climate than many believe, said Amanda Nagle, a doctoral student investigating the same blood transfusion data for a forthcoming paper in the American Journal of Public Health.

"If people are seeking care at an emergency department," Nagle said, "there are serious health risks to delaying that care."…

Texas hospital that sent woman home with nonviable pregnancy violated the law, federal inquiry finds | PBS News

"We see patients with miscarriages being denied care, bleeding out in parking lots. We see patients with nonviable pregnancies being told to continue those to term," said Molly Duane, an attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights that represented Thurman. "This is not, maybe, what some people thought abortion bans would look like, but this is the reality."

Woman's arrest after miscarriage in Georgia draws fear and anger

"Chandler-Scott's arrest comes at a time when a growing number of women are facing pregnancy-related prosecutions in which the fetus is treated as a person with legal rights. And her experience raises troubling questions about miscarriages that happen in states with strict abortion laws, women's health advocates say. How should remains be disposed of? And who gets to decide?"

Grieving husband says "reckless" Texas abortion law led to pregnant wife's death - CBS News

Porsha Ngumezi wasn't given a D&C, a surgical procedure that can be used when a miscarriage isn't complete and the patient is bleeding excessively — as Ngumezi was at the time. It's the same procedure used for many abortions, but doctors told CBS News their colleagues hesitate to perform them, fearing the state's criminal penalties…

Ohio woman sues hospital and police after she was arrested over miscarriage | Ohio | The Guardian

"This case is a perfect example of the broader implications of the overruling of Roe v Wade in the Dobbs case. Brittany was not seeking an abortion," said Julia Rickert, one of Watts's attorneys and a partner at the civil rights law firm Loevy and Loevy. "But the repercussions of the Dobbs decision meant that her pregnancy and her choices and her medical crisis were viewed in a different way." 

On 19 September 2023, when Watts was about 21 weeks into a wanted pregnancy, she went to the hospital after she started experiencing pain and bleeding, according to the lawsuit. Although she was showing signs of potential miscarriage, the lawsuit alleges that Watts "received no meaningful treatment or guidance". She left the hospital after several hours, only to return the following day. Although a doctor told her that her pregnancy was in effect over and that she was at risk of hemorrhaging and sepsis, the lawsuit alleges that Watts once again did not receive adequate treatment for hours and left the hospital…

After Roe, pregnant women face increased risk of criminal prosecution | PBS News

In the first year after the Supreme Court ended the federal right to an abortion, 210 women faced charges for behavior related to pregnancy, abortion, pregnancy loss or birth. The decision emboldened prosecutors to develop aggressive strategies to charge and imprison pregnant women and mothers. But even prior to the overturning of Roe, hundreds of women faced such charges. Sarah Varney reports...

Miscarriages due to climate crisis a ‘blind spot’ in action plans – report

Increasing climate extremes are causing more lost babies, premature births and cognitive damage to newborns, the report said. For example, a study in India found a doubled risk of miscarriage in pregnant women suffering heat stress, while another in California found a significant association between long-term heat exposure and stillbirth and premature birth. 

Flooding is responsible for more than 100,000 lost pregnancies a year in 33 countries in South and Central America, Asia, and Africa, according to another study, with the danger highest for women with lower income and education levels. Rising heat also increases the intimate partner violence suffered by women, a south Asian analysis found.
