This is what it looks like to have a life-threatening pregnancy in a state with an abortion ban.

⚠️ Note: This story describes serious complications in pregnancies and births.

Mayron Hollis was not even 10 weeks pregnant when her OB-GYN knew something was wrong. She had an ectopic pregnancy implanted in scar tissue from a previous cesarean section. If she continued the pregnancy, she was in serious danger of losing her bladder, her uterus and her life.
Tennessee’s abortion ban forced her to choose between sacrificing her fertility or risking her life. Now, she can never have children again.
