This case study uses Virginia APCD data to examine how many pregnant people have severe medical conditions or complications for which abortion may be life-saving, finding that nearly 3% of reproductive-aged Virginians had such conditions and that affected pregnancies had significantly worse outcomes — concluding that abortion restrictions place thousands of medically complex patients at serious risk.
