Ectopic pregnancy deaths have nearly doubled. It’s worse in states, like Texas, with abortion bans.

Ectopic pregnancy deaths have surged in Texas since the state banned nearly all abortions, highlighting the dire consequences of restrictive reproductive laws. In 2023 and 2024, over 300 women faced severe complications, including substantial blood loss, compared to the previous five years. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for better access to medical care for women experiencing ectopic pregnancies, which can be life-threatening. The situation in Texas serves as a stark reminder of how restrictive abortion policies can severely impact women's health and mortality rates.
