BREAKING🚨 A Texas mother of two bled to death in a hospital while doctors REFUSED the procedure that could have saved her — because of abortion law.
Porsha Ngumezi was 11 weeks pregnant with the daughter she and her husband Hope had wanted so badly when the bleeding turned heavy on the drive home from a water park with their two little boys. She went to Houston Methodist Sugar Land on June 11, 2023. She bled through two transfusions. A nurse wrote that she was passing clots the size of grapefruit. She lost consciousness while Hope, an aircraft engineer, leaned over to warm her up, because she was cold and she always called him "the heater."
Hope called his mother, a former physician. "You need a D&C," she told them, the common procedure that clears the uterus and ends the bleeding.
When the OB-GYN on duty, Dr. Andrew Ryan Davis, finally came, he said the hospital's "routine" was to try the drug misoprostol first. Porsha had a blood-clotting disorder. More than a dozen doctors who later reviewed her case said she needed an emergency D&C right then, and that misoprostol at 11 weeks would not work fast enough.
A D&C is also how abortions are performed. A Texas doctor who performs an abortion later deemed medically unnecessary faces up to 99 years in prison and the loss of their license.
Porsha was moved out of the ER. She said her chest hurt. A nurse brought her Tylenol. She said it four more times over the next couple of hours before anyone brought morphine. Davis never came back. Around 1:30 a.m. she started gasping for air, and Hope grabbed the room phone and screamed for a nurse.
Her cause of death was vaginal hemorrhage. This year the Texas Medical Board ruled that Davis failed to quantify how much blood she was losing and chose to monitor her instead of taking her for the D&C. His penalty was extra training.

It’s rich listening to Abbott talk about what he’s going to fix . . . when he’s been in office 10 years. An entire decade! It’s time for voters to move on.
I’m sorry but at what point do yall stop dancing like circus monkeys and acknowledge that having to jump through hoops to survive is simply unacceptable? The grocery bill is high because of inflation & corporate greed.
I just don’t understand how you’re going to call someone “Sleepy Joe” for years and then proceed to literally fall asleep in the middle of every press conference all the time.
