More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” (Published July)

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.

House Republicans passed the biggest health care cut in U.S. history. Senate Republicans’ response? Hold my beer. Now they’re pushing even deeper Medicaid cuts—knowing it’ll shut down rural hospitals, strip care from their own voters, and leave millions hanging.
