New abortion bans make exceptions for cases in which the mother’s life is at stake. Doctors wonder which threats are serious enough to absolve them of legal risk.
found that states that restrict abortion access have higher rates of maternal mortality than those that don't.Harris said one condition likely to qualify as a threat to a pregnant person’s life is an ectopic pregnancy that ruptures the fallopian tube. This occurs when the fetus develops outside the uterus, and it can cause internal bleeding and require immediate surgery.
on one such case already this week: a woman whose doctors said she needed to terminate her pregnancy before receiving chemo, and who will have to leave the state to do so. A judge lifted an injunction Friday that had blocked Ohio's ban on abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected. "Could a patient request an abortion in order to avoid a 50% chance of dying?" she said."To me, that seems like a very high chance."
Smith said she thinks many states with abortion bans have"zealous prosecutors" who are"going to be doing whatever they can to shut down clinics and either throw doctors in jail or strip them of their licenses."
