Pregnant Woman Dies After Being Denied Treatment Due to Abortion Bans

Ciji Graham, a pregnant police officer with a rapid heartbeat, was denied immediate treatment for atrial fibrillation due to her pregnancy and state abortion restrictions. Despite the expert consensus that cardioversion was safe, her initial cardiologist hesitated to treat her, sending her home without providing necessary care. After seeking a second opinion, she was sent home again without receiving the necessary tests to determine her health. Unable to access timely abortion care due to state laws, Graham’s condition worsened, ultimately leading to her tragic death.
