And yet, isn't two women suffering needlessly from medical sexism too many?

"This is what passes for good news in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade: An Ohio grand jury decided Thursday not to indict a woman on felony charges after she miscarried in her home toilet in September, at nearly 22 weeks of pregnancy. A nurse had reported Brittany Watts, who is Black, for 'abuse of a corpse' over how she’d handled the fetal remains, despite medical experts having determined her fetus wasn’t viable.

The relief for Watts — in a case no woman should have to endure in the first place — came after The New Yorker reported that Yeniifer Alvarez-Estrada Glick, a 27-year-old immigrant from Mexico, had died from life-threatening pregnancy complications two weeks after the Dobbs decision. Medical experts told the magazine that, due to Texas’s near-total ban on abortions, Alvarez was never offered the therapeutic abortion that would have saved her life."
