Pregnant Women Denied Emergency Care: Mapping The Toll Of MAGA Abortion Bans

"Emergency rooms refuse to treat pregnant women" - AP

How did we get here where an emergency hospital (funded with your tax dollars) will treat you for a sprained ankle, but refuse to help you if you are bleeding and dying from a pregnancy complication?

Thank the MAGA extremists who have banned abortions. Packed the courts with religious extremists to deny women their rights. Threaten to take away doctors' licenses if they help women. And restrict women's freedoms to travel to another state to get care, even if they can afford it.

What are some real life examples of women being turned away from emergency wards? What is Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA)? Which states have the most restrictive abortion bans? Which states provide the worst maternal care? Which of these states have elections where your vote can make a big difference in restoring women's reproductive freedoms? Check this map.

Don't mess with Texas women

"Texas ranks dead last in the country in caring for soon-to-be and new mothers. The high cost of care in North Texas, the nation’s worst health insurance rate, and a high infant mortality rate make the Lone Star State 50th for access to quality prenatal and maternal care.

Texas finished with the lowest overall score despite having middle-of-the-road quality of care. The state’s providers are talented, but many Texans lack access to those providers. Texas was last in the percentage of women of childbearing age who have health insurance and a primary care provider. It also has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the country, at 5.5 deaths per 1,000 live births." - D Magazine

Hold MAGA Republicans accountable

• “We all must understand who is to blame. It is the former president, Donald Trump. It is Donald Trump who, during his campaign in 2016, said women should be punished for seeking an abortion.”
• “Donald Trump is the architect of this health care crisis. And that’s not a fact he hides. In fact, he brags about it.”
• “And as much harm as he has already caused, a second Trump term would be even worse. If Donald Trump gets the chance, he will sign a national abortion ban. How do we know? Look at his record. Congress tried to pass a national abortion ban before, in 2017, and then-President Trump endorsed it.” - Vice President Kamala Harris

Three key Senate races to help restore women's rights and codify Roe into law:
Texas: Ted Cruz (R) vs Colin Allred (D)
Florida: Rick Scott (R) vs Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D)
North Carolina: Mark Robinson (R) vs Josh Stein (D)

TakeAway: Elections have consequences. Vote for President Biden and Democrats to protect women's freedoms from MAGA extremists.
