Life of The Mother

States with an abortion ban have drawn up their interpretation of life of the mother exceptions

Addtional Stats & Info:
  • Life of the mother exceptions, allowing for emergency or critical care abortions are deliberately vague, leaving doctors fearful and hesitant to make decisions to provide an abortion to a patient in need- as the decision and the practice of medicine could risk the loss of their medical license or being guilty of breaking the law, in many cases incurring large fines and or incarceration
