“Before states banned abortion, one of the gravest outcomes of early miscarriage could easily be avoided: Doctors could offer a dilation and curettage procedure, which quickly empties the uterus and allows it to close, protecting against a life-threatening hemorrhage.” ////

It’s risky depending on data from any Texas institution when women are concerned. Texas has legislated women into expendable entities. Only white Christian men have freedom in Texas.
