"Plumb echoed Escamilla's concerns, adding that women may face life-threatening pregnancy complications and not have a hospital nearby that would perform a lifesaving abortion. She said a patient was recently flown from a rural area to receive an abortion for an ectopic pregnancy — at times a life-threatening condition where the fertilized ovum develops outside the uterus — and died before she was able to receive treatment.
'One of the challenges is figuring out how to ensure that when a patient or child is in a very critical medical situation, that that care is available to them,' Plumb said.
The Republican-controlled Senate voted down all proposals from Democrats."
