More Horror Stories, This Time from Tennessee

What: More women joined a case in Tennessee challenging the state’s abortion ban, similar to a case brought in Texas. Three of the women added Monday were “denied abortions while experiencing severe pregnancy complications, forcing them to travel out of state to get the procedure.”

One woman, Rebecca Milner, found out at her 20-week appointment that her amniotic fluid was too low, and nothing could be done to save the baby. But she was still barred from getting an abortion in state. Milner traveled to Virginia for the procedure but went back home with an infection likely caused by the delay in getting her abortion.

Why it matters: These stories will continue to happen as women suffer and die due to abortion bans, and it could play a massive role in the 2024 election.
