New studies show miscarriage patients living under abortion bans pay a price - Velshi - MS NOW
New studies from the Journals of the American Medical Association and the American Journal of Public Health reveal that in states with abortion bans, women are less likely to be given the best standard of care medication, and those states saw a possible 9.2% increase in pregnancy-associated deaths, either during or up to one year after pregnancy.
"When I miscarried, I bled for five days at home. I finally went to the OB, we did a sonogram and found out my baby no longer had a heartbeat. She prescribed me medication, I left, I went to the pharmacy, and they wouldn’t fill it.,” says Kaitlyn Kash. It’s a “cascading ripple effect,” says Robin Marty of West Alabama Women’s Center. Many hospitals "are just not seeing miscarry patients." - Aired on 05/24/2026.
