An Arkansas mother’s near-death experience with ‘pro-life’ abortion ban

Synopsis

Kayla Moore went into premature labor four months into her pregnancy while on a visit to Tennessee. For five days, she hemorrhaged as staff at multiple hospitals refused her care. They told her that providing her an abortion could expose them to murder charges. Kayla was forced to wait for care until a hospital deemed her life sufficiently legally endangered to intervene. Kayla told her story to Arkansas Times reporter Lara Farrar.
