Woman said she went into sepsis before she could get lifesaving abortion care in Texas
Synopsis
After two years of trying and going through IVF, Kristen Anaya and her husband were thrilled to be expecting a baby girl they named Tylee. But when Kristen’s water broke at four months, she says Texas’ abortion ban forced doctors to wait until she developed sepsis before they could intervene. ABC News reporter Nadine El-Bawab details the 22 hours Kristen spent in the hospital as doctors waited for her condition to become life-threatening enough to intervene.
Not only did we lose Tylee, but now you’re gonna go into sepsis and there’s nothing we can do about it other than watch you because of the abortion laws in Texas.
