TL;DR Summary

Kiersten Hogan, who was 19 weeks pregnant, had a stillbirth after being taken to a religious hospital in Texas where she was diagnosed with cervical insufficiency and told she couldn't receive an abortion under the state's new law. Doctors told Hogan she'd have to remain in the hospital on bedrest until she went into labor or became sick enough for her providers to terminate the pregnancy. After four days of feeling like a hostage in the hospital, Hogan had a stillbirth. Hogan's account is laid out as part of a newly amended lawsuit seeking to suspend Texas's abortion bans.
