Josseli Barnica, 28, died in Texas after delayed miscarriage care due to strict abortion laws.

Josseli Barnica, a 28-year-old woman in Texas, died in 2021 after her miscarriage care was delayed for over 40 hours due to state abortion laws. Medical staff informed her that intervention was illegal because the fetus still had a heartbeat, even though she was already miscarrying. Experts later stated her death was preventable had she received timely treatment. Texas enacted stricter abortion laws following the 2022 Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
