A Running List of the Preventable Deaths Caused by Abortion Bans

[Solly Mack]

Today, 21 states ban abortion or restrict the procedure earlier in pregnancy than the standard set by Roe v. Wade, and of those, abortion is completely illegal in 13. These states are failing women and their families, causing preventable deaths and irreparable pain and heartbreak for their families—leaving children without mothers, parents without their daughters, and spouses without their partners.


These women should be alive today. And these are likely not the only cases, as there has been a significant increase in maternal mortality rates in states that implement strict abortion bans.

Each woman's story told in full at the site. Just follow the link. These are the known deaths, thus far, but more names are expected and will be released as that information becomes available (unless the offending states prevent the information from coming out). Even more women will die in the future because of the Dobbs decision.
