New from @propublica.org: A third Texas woman, Porsha Ngumezi, died under that state’s abortion ban. Instead of the D&C she needed, doctors gave her misoprostol. The bleeding continued and she died. www.propublica.org/article/pors...

A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments.
Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
