The woman describes the experience as painful and traumatizing and, because of it, she’s no longer trying to conceive.
- In the three weeks since the Supreme Court overturned a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion, uncertainty is growing about how the ruling will affect other pregnancy-related issues like fertility treatments, contraception, even miscarriage.
“I get so angry that I was treated this way because of laws that were passed by men who have never been pregnant and never will be,” Stell said.Her nightmare started out as a dream come true. After months of trying, she became pregnant late last summer.An ultrasound at 7 and 1/2 weeks showed all was well. But at an ultrasound two weeks later showed something different.Stell asked her doctor for a standard treatment: a surgery to remove the fetal remains. She said her doctor refused.
It was still not enough to get her doctor to give her medical care. Stell had to get yet another ultrasound showing her dead fetus. “She can develop an infection that can make her sterile and never able to have children again,” she said. “Any private citizen can walk into court and say ‘I think Dr. Smith performed an abortion,’” said Stephen Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas.And even when doctors can prove the fetus was dead, the doctor still has to be responsible for their own legal fees.
