After Texas banned abortion in 2021, sepsis rates have gone up by 50% statewide. In Texas, doctors are allowed to preform medical abortions, but only once the fetus itself has fully expired. So, infected and dying fetuses in the womb can leak infectious material into the mothers bloodstream while the fetus is still technically alive. This clause causes doctors to delay life-saving intervention so they do not risk losing their license and up to 99 years in state prison.
Furthermore, the Texas abortion ban has caused the maternal fatality to rate to skyrocket, while nationally it declined. MAGA Republicans continue to show they do not have women's best interests at heart.
Women and girls across America need Democrats in office so their reproductive healthcare freedoms can be protected. Without strong Democrats in Congress, MAGA Republicans will continue to try to ban abortion nationwide.
Luckily, TWO upcoming special elections in Florida give Democrats and chance to begin making up ground in the House and start to more effectively combat the extreme MAGA agenda.
