No [0]. It's a sad story about a morbidly obese woman who went through a high risk pregnancy without insurance and without following doctor's instructions for one of her critical medications. This is the sad reality of illegal immigration. The only healthcare illegal immigrants have access to is the emergency room, and the doctors and facilities there are not equipped to deal with issues like high risk pregnancies.

But it surely will sooner or later. Probably sooner. Bans on abortions haven't stopped women from trying to get abortions since pre-modern times.

If I am to guess the first victim will be someone who can't afford to go to a another state. Yay for the war on the poor.
