People Magazine has reported that a woman in Texas nearly died because state law didn’t allow her to have an abortion when she was diagnosed with cervical insufficiency<\/a> (also called incompetent cervix) and preterm premature rupture of membranes<\/a> (PPROM). The devastating news came as a shock when she was 18 weeks pregnant. However, induced abortion is not the treatment for an incompetent cervix or PPROM, and it never has been.<\/p>\n

It appears, instead, that the woman’s doctors may have acted with negligence \u2014 and now the death of this woman’s daughter is being exploited in order to promote legalized abortion.<\/p>\n

Amanda Zurawski told People<\/a> that she had “what felt like water running down my leg” but “fully expected [doctors] to send me home and all would be fine.” However, after a “shockingly brief examination,” doctors explained that she was dilating prematurely due to an incompetent cervix, the amniotic sac was “bulging,” and she was told a miscarriage was inevitable. Zurawski was understandably heartbroken.<\/p>\n

Incompetent cervix and treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n

An incompetent cervix causes up to 25% of miscarriages in the second trimester, and though there are treatments<\/a>, those treatments aren’t always successful<\/a>, especially if labor has already begun. However, induced abortion \u2014 the intentional killing of the baby \u2014 is not<\/em> one of those treatments.<\/p>\n
