On Monday, the winners of the Pulitzer Prize were announced. The esteemed public service medal went to @propublica journalists @Ksurana6@lizziepresser@cassandrajar and Stacy Kranitz for their urgent reporting on the deadly consequences of abortion bans. Back in November, I spoke to Surana about women who lost their lives due to such laws, the chilling effect these policies have on doctors, and more. https://t.co/1RyEMLuB9Y
At 11 weeks pregnant, Porsha Ngumezi was miscarrying, hemorrhaging and needed a D&C .
The abortion ban, though, is pushing doctors to avoid the procedure.
She died at the age of 35, leaving behind two sons.

I wrote about Maylia and Jack and how fentanyl took over their lives. At 15, Maylia was selling. At 17, Jack couldn't stop using. A collision:

When @propublica began reporting on the Supreme Court, @JustinElliott and @js_kaplan had no sources at all. But they made >1,000 calls.
