Pro-life advocates in our post-Dobbs environment have likely been made aware - whether through news commentators, social media, or pro-choice friends and family members - of a series of shocking articles published by the nonprofit journalistic outfit ProPublica concerning the reportedly deadly effects of pro-life laws for women.
Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, ProPublica released this series of lengthy pieces suggesting that recent state laws limiting or banning abortions are responsible for the deaths of women who have been turned away or otherwise denied life-saving care.
But do these articles tell the whole story? Are pro-life laws really at fault? Are the reports about denial of care, sepsis, or unnecessary delays truly a result of laws protecting the unborn, or might they be instances of malpractice or lack of medical education that could have occurred in any state, including a state where abortion is legal?
