According to a new ProPublica investigation, Texas has seen an increase in the rate of sepsis among women who lost their pregnancies in the second trimester since the state instituted one of the country’s strictest abortion bans and the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion.

The paper advantage holds across ages and has grown over time. Long live physical books.
