GET ME REWRITE: Top Texas leaders find plenty to crow about in their GOP War on Women

 

Headline:  ProPublica, 2/20/2025

Lizzie Presser, Andrea Suozzo, Sophie Chou and Kavitha Surana write:

The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the second trimester, ProPublica found. 

The surge in this life-threatening condition, caused by infection, was most pronounced for patients whose fetus may still have had a heartbeat when they arrived at the hospital. 

ProPublica previously reported on two such cases in which miscarrying women in Texas died of sepsis after doctors delayed evacuating their uteruses. Doing so would have been considered an abortion.
