What counts as the life of the mother

This is, without hyperbole, one of the most moving articles I’ve ever read. Incredibly brave of the author to share these intimate experiences. A reminder that — despite recent medical advances — bearing a child remains startlingly dangerous, and that any policy that neglects the wellbeing of the pregnant person is simply cruel.
