## Resource

A Texas woman’s family sues state officials and a San Antonio hospital, claiming doctors ignored her life-threatening pregnancy complications—including seizures and dangerously high blood pressure—because of the state’s strict abortion ban. Despite seeing over 100 doctors and being hospitalized multiple times, Walker was repeatedly told her baby was fine while her own health deteriorated. She died days after discharge, and her family blames the chilling effect of the law for preventing lifesaving care. The lawsuit targets Attorney General Ken Paxton and others, arguing that fear of legal repercussions silenced medical professionals—even when records suggested early delivery was critical. This case exposes the deadly consequences of restrictive abortion laws in medical emergencies. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
