Analysis Summary
Abortion bans have created a chilling effect where doctors delay standard pregnancy care to avoid prosecution. Doctors now wait until fetal heartbeat stops or a patient is in acute medical danger before intervening—a pattern documented by ProPublica that has contributed to preventable maternal deaths. Maternal mortality rose 56% overall and 95% among White women in Texas during the first year of its post-6-week ban, and 55% of doctors practicing in ban states reported compromised ability to follow medical standards.
