Here's the 'heart-wrenching' reality of post-Roe medical care for women

Raw Story  

In new data that has yet to be released to the public, researchers at the University of California San Francisco have examined how pregnancy-related medical care has changed since the Supreme Court decision that struck down Roe v. Wade, according to States Newsroom. The Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health, part of the University of California San Francisco, launched a study specifically about pregnancy care after the ending of Roe v. Wade. And in one case, the patient had an ectopic pregnancy, where she should have been able to get that treatment where she lived.” Providers told researchers about cases of premature rupture of membranes in the second trimester, Grossman said, noting that the standard of care in these cases is to offer termination, given the high risk of infection and low probability of a live birth. “And then they come back with infection, and several of them developed very severe infection that required very complicated management in the intensive care unit.” Additionally, UCSF researchers have learned about several cases of patients whose fetuses had no chance of survival but had to leave their state to have abortions, an increasingly common story.
