A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage
—

A new ProPublica data analysis adds to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of first-trimester miscarriage far more dangerous.

@ProPublica But not for People Who Matter, just poors and such.

This isn't raw cynicism. There's an important point I'm making:

These laws don't affect those who made them, or those they care about. They only affect the REST of us. Our interests are less important than theirs, which are chiefly political.

Even before Roe, rich girls were not affected by blanket abortion bans -- which is why those laws were not lifted, despite killing many people. We're back to that now.

@ProPublica And yet somewhere in MAGAland, right wing nutjobs wonder why the birth rate among white women has plummeted.

Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

@ProPublica I had something similar happen after a miscarriage.

A checkup a couple of weeks later. I knew something was wrong immediately by the reaction of the nurse to my symptoms because I was still bleeding slightly. The doctor did a D&C to be on the safe side. My uterus didn't contract like it should (uterine atony) and I started to loose a massive amount of blood. I remember the doctor and nurse starting to get slightly panicked as things started to close in. Thankfully, a drug worked quickly to force my uterus to contract and stop the bleeding. I was given an IV to deal with the blood loss.

He told me I could have bled out in the middle of the night, in my sleep, had the placenta remnants dislodge on their own and not in a medical setting. Light bleeding getting suddenly worse.

I think about that a lot these days. In Texas that D&C would be questionablely legal. Infection or bleeding out first, not basic medical care.
