The Dallas Morning News gathered hundreds of pages of autopsies and death records of maternal deaths that have occurred since Texas restricted abortion in late 2021. The News then asked obstetricians, including those specialized in abortion procedures, to review cases where abortion care might have been lifesaving. In the cases of Brenda and Porsha, those experts agreed. They both died after hospitals chose not to provide abortion procedures.
The Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee, the body responsible for investigating maternal deaths, has announced it is not investigating cases from 2022 and 2023, including the immediate aftermath of the state's almost-total abortion ban.
