According to ProPublica, 37-year-old Tierra Walker, living in Texas under an abortion ban, asked doctors multiple times about ending her pregnancy to protect her life, as seizures, skyrocketing blood pressure, and a blood clot pushed her toward preeclampsia. She died at 20 weeks in December 2024.

“And I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”
An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.

But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.

A must read investigation from my colleagues Kavitha Surana and Lizzie Presser. Tierra’s medical care received under Texas’ abortion ban shows how dangerous pregnancy can be. Complications from the pregnancy resulted in her tragic death and no doctor offered termination
NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

Senate Bill 323 — South Carolina’s total abortion ban — failed to pass out of subcommittee. This is a huge win made possible by the power of our communities. And we’re not stopping here.

We’ll keep fighting back against any bill that threatens our fundamental right to bodily autonomy.
Near-total abortion ban fails in SC. Why didn’t it receive enough GOP backing?

NEW: We released a report exposing how death penalty cases are often plagued with errors and misconduct that lead to wrongful convictions.

Black defendants are more likely to be sentenced to death for a crime they didn’t commit because of the systemic racism baked into the death penalty.

This is good news. The ICE agent is arrested on state charges, so the Convicted FElon & the Regime can't do anything to stop this. They can try but it will be illegal.

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.

(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)
