Congresswoman Kat Cammack’s story proves what women, doctors, and advocates have been saying about abortion bans all along: they’re dangerous and threaten women’s lives.

She was fortunate. We know other women have not been.
Healthcare decisions belong between patients and their doctors — not politicians, lawyers, or hospital administrators trying to decipher abortion bans in the middle of a medical emergency.
