Episode Ectopic Pregnancy and the Increasing Danger to Mothers' Reproductive Health
Trigger warning: On today's episode we will be discussing pregnancy loss, abortion, and maternal death. Please be advised if those topics are difficult for you.
What happens when pregnancy complications become a life-threatening emergency? Margaret’s sister Anne joins us to share her powerful story of nearly dying from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.
Margaret and Anne discuss:
• What an ectopic pregnancy is and why it can become life-threatening • How Anne's experience connects to the current landscape of abortion restrictions • The challenges doctors may face when treating ectopic pregnancies and other pregnancy emergencies, given current abortion bans • Why policies made far from the exam room can have profound consequences for women and their doctors
Here is the ProPublica article referenced in the episode, by Andrea Suozzo and Agnel Philip: Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It’s Worse in States With Abortion Bans.
