Josseli Barnica was suffering from a deadly infection from a miscarriage while at the hospital in Houston — but doctors had to wait to treat her due to the state’s abortion ban that limited how much care they could provide her as her baby maintained a heartbeat.

“They had to wait until there was no heartbeat,” her husband told ProPublica in Spanish. “It would be a crime to give her an abortion.”
