This is so sad. It was so horrible reading about how Izabella Sajbor was left to die of sepsis, now another woman:
Several woman have died since the constitutional court ruled in 2020 that women could no longer terminate pregnancies in cases of severe foetal deformities.
Dorota Lalik, a 33-year-old pharmacist, checked into the Pope John Paul II hospital in the southern Polish town after her waters broke on May 21. She was five months pregnant.
A relative of the late woman said that the staff told Lalik to “lie with her legs up so that the waters might come back," according to the report.
After a three-day ordeal, Lalik’s health began deteriorating rapidly. While she was given an abortion on May 24, she eventually died from septic shock and multiple organ failure the same day.
Lalik's is the latest case of a woman dying in a hospital that tried to maintain a pregnancy due to the presence of a fetal heartbeat until it was too late for the woman.
Women's rights advocates warn that doctors are putting women's lives at risk as they prioritize saving pregnancies over women, either for religious reasons or fearing legal consequences for themselves.
Women’s rights advocates have called for protests in dozens of Polish cities on Wednesday under the slogan “Stop killing us” .
