The World Republicans Made: “Absolute Hell” And “Atmosphere of Terror”

It has been well over 4 months since the Republican Supreme Court overturned Roe, and women are being forced into extremely dangerous situations in the new world Republicans made. Unconcerned by the fallout from their extreme anti-abortion agenda, Republicans are doubling down on calls for a nationwide ban on abortion, which would override any state level protections.

Women and doctors across the country are bravely sharing harrowing personal stories about the toll that the extreme and dangerous Republican policies are taking on them and their families. Here are new heartbreaking examples:

• Huffpost: I Live In Alabama. Our Cruel New Abortion Law Has Made My Life Absolute Hell.

  An Alabama woman shares her horrifying story of being told to “simply carry the fetus to term” after the baby was given a less than 9% chance of survival and numerous heart wrenching diagnoses.

• The Guardian: The doctors leaving anti-abortion states: ‘I couldn’t do my job at all’

  Doctors share the impossible circumstances they face in their clinics and hospitals in states where Republicans have implemented strict abortion bans.

• Jezebel: Patients and Doctors Describe ‘Atmosphere of Terror’ at Emotional Louisiana Abortion Hearing

  Louisiana women share numerous stories of desperately seeking life-saving care as doctors struggle to parse inscrutable state regulations.

DCCC Spokesperson Helen Kalla:
“Week after week, women face the world Republicans made through their efforts to control our personal health care decisions. If Republicans control Congress, they’ll make this nightmare a reality in all 50 states.”
