Texas' Abortion Ban Blamed for Death of Woman After 40-Hour Delay in Miscarriage Care
Oct 30, 2024, 01:57 PM
A Texas woman, 28-year-old Josseli Barnica, died after waiting 40 hours for miscarriage care at a Houston hospital due to the state's strict abortion laws. Doctors reportedly delayed treatment, fearing prosecution under Texas’ abortion ban, stating it would be a 'crime' to intervene before the fetal heartbeat stopped. Barnica told her husband that the medical team couldn't act until the fetal heartbeat ceased. Three days later, she died from an infection. Medical experts have called her death preventable and described the case as 'horrific,' 'astounding,' and 'egregious.' She is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care, highlighting the severe implications of Texas' abortion restrictions on women's health care.
