Episode Description from the Publisher

Tierra Walker knew her pregnancy could kill her, so she asked about an abortion. Not one of the more than 90 doctors who saw Walker offered her abortion care. Now her family is suing the doctors, hospitals, and Texas officials who failed her, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Imani Gandy explains how the state created an abortion regime that terrifies doctors into inaction, then blames those doctors when patients die—and why that regime still doesn’t excuse that Walker’s doctors failed to save her life by providing an abortion.  Expert Repro Journalism That Inspires.
