Originally Published 2 years ago — by ABC News
In a three-part investigation by ABC News, women from across the United States share their agonizing experiences of being forced to carry nonviable pregnancies to term due to abortion restrictions. These women, who initially wanted their pregnancies, were denied medical care in emergencies, faced delays or denials due to state laws, and were told to continue their pregnancies despite devastating diagnoses for their babies. The cost of accessing care in other states and the limitations of gestational age further compounded their struggles. The emotional trauma and physical toll of carrying nonviable pregnancies have left these women scarred, highlighting the profound impact of post-Roe America.
