A recent analysis found that deaths from ectopic pregnancies have nearly doubled. This type of pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, often in a fallopian tube. The embryo's growth can cause the organ to rupture, typically in the first trimester.

The increase in deaths is more pronounced in states with abortion bans, such as Texas. Further details on this trend can be found in the original report.

The data on ectopic pregnancy deaths comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the analysis was conducted by ProPublica.
