A pro-life doctor has responded to abortion proponents' assertions that Texas' abortion restrictions played a role in the death of a woman who died following complications from a high-risk pregnancy two weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade.

Texas has come under heavy scrutiny in recent months over their laws protecting preborn children from abortion, with state legislators accused of putting women’s lives at risk, all because women cannot electively kill their preborn children. Texas laws do allow an abortion if the mother “has a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy that places [her] at risk of death or poses a substantial impairment of a major bodily function unless an abortion is performed.” Yet this is deemed to be cruel and insufficient to safeguard women’s health so much so that an article in the New Yorker even falsely blamed the state’s laws for the tragic death of a pregnant young woman.
