Abortion Bans Are Deadly - Pass the Women's Health Protection Act

I’d like to share a ProPublica investigation with you about the state of women’s health in states that have banned abortion. Here’s the link for you to review: ⁦https://www.propublica.org/article/abortion-bans-deaths-state-maternal-mortality-committees⁩ These bans are regularly delaying treatment and medical attention to women, leading to their deaths. They are left to suffer organ failure and sepsis because a fetal heartbeat is present in a fetus that cannot survive. I urge you to recognize that this is torture and cruelty, resulting in death at the hands of legislators who lack medical knowledge, compassion, and are willing to let these women die. These same legislators are also preventing maternal mortality committees from investigating the causes of these deaths to prevent the public from learning about the cruelty and inhumanity of these abortion ban practices. This is what happens when abortion is considered a states’ rights issue. I want you to speak out against this cruelty and demand that the Women’s Health Protection Act be brought up for a vote to ensure that abortion care is available everywhere in our country. I expect you to speak up loudly and demand action, and I will pay attention to what you have to say.
