Originally Published 2 years ago — by ABC News

An ABC News investigation highlights the impact of abortion restrictions in America after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022. The report features the stories of women who faced life-threatening complications during pregnancy but were denied necessary medical care due to state abortion bans. These women, who wanted to continue their pregnancies, were turned away in medical emergencies, had their healthcare delayed or denied, and were forced to continue pregnancies despite devastating diagnoses for their babies. The report sheds light on the confusion and risks faced by women and doctors in the post-Roe era, as well as the legal challenges and lawsuits arising from the cascading bans.
