According to a new ProPublica investigation, Texas has seen an increase in the rate of sepsis among women who lost their pregnancies in the second trimester since the state instituted one of the country’s strictest abortion bans and the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion.
The investigation found that the rate of sepsis jumped by more than 50 percent in the two years since Texas’ near-total abortion ban went into effect.
