This will never impact an Ivy League school. They all have MASSIVE endowments and will continue to because their wealthy Alumni base will continue to donate and foot the bill. This is a major issue for small state schools though because their alumni don’t have the extra cash to donate back.

Actually yes it is. This article also reminded me that an ectopic pregnancy is another example of something that is not a pre-existing condition that would require an abortion for the life of the mother.

“Medical providers often refer to miscarriages as spontaneous abortions, or by its subcategories including missed, incomplete and inevitable abortions (see Glossary).”

Pre-existing conditions are not the only thing that would require a medically necessary abortion. A condition that pregnancy brought on, a miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, or a required hysterectomy(an additional stat in the report you attached) would also be medically necessary reasons and obviously not considered in the 162 figure you are using. Additionally any situation where the fetus has already been determined to be not viable would not be pre-existing and would be medically necessary for the health of the mother.

I was talking nationally not in a state level and I was confusing the stat. An abortion ban could increase maternal fatality over 20%

There are a variety of medical reasons that could cause that too especially in a 70 year old woman. Top 2 things that come to mind are dehydration and a severe UTI(I’ve witnessed this from some old ladies in my own family - had no idea until I saw it the first time.)

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t care for her, but it’s not necessarily alcohol or illicit drugs.

Wasn’t exactly a DWI, she had no alcohol in her system and the only drugs found were non-narcotic prescriptions. Now certainly you could argue that she may not have been taking those as directed and they created a bad drug interaction but apparently it wasn’t enough to charge her.
