Bryan and Julissa were excited to start a family. When Julissa got pregnant, it never occurred to them that she would need emergency care—or that she would be denied that care because of Texas' abortion bans.

They'd already picked a name, Lorenzo Thomas Weber. Enzo, for short. Elisabeth and her husband had even told their landlord they'd need a bigger place.

At a routine doctor's appointment, Elisabeth learned Enzo's heart had stopped three weeks earlier. He was gone. But South Carolina's six-week abortion ban meant doctors couldn't do anything for her.
She went to the ER at least six times. Each time, doctors confirmed there was no heartbeat—and each time, they sent her home to wait. She miscarried at home. In pain. Terrified of infection the entire time.

Elisabeth already has three daughters, and lost a son to SIDS in 2018. Watching her go through this was eye-opening for her own mother—a lifelong conservative—who saw firsthand what these laws actually do to the people living under them.

Texas la obligó a dar a luz. Dos veces. Ahora se está levantando a luchar

Cuando Maria Puerto (un seudónimo) quedó embarazada a los 22 años, a pesar de haber estado tomando pastillas anticonceptivas, estaba sin opciones. Ella vive en Texas, donde el ab**to es illegal, y no tenía los recursos para poder salir del estabo para obtenerlo.

El embarazo le costó su trabajo y la beca de la que dependía. Cuando ella inesperadamente quedó embarazada de nuevo un año después, su novio se desvaneció. Hoy Maria está económicamente “arruinada”—sin poder trabajar porque no puede pagar los costos de una guardería, y sin poder conseguir una vivienda independiente para ella y sus dos hijos.

“Yo era tan joven, todos los caminos eran posibles,” dice Maria. “Pero… las leyes de Texas tomaron las decisiones por mí.”

Pero ahora Maria está defendiéndose. Ha presentado una demanda contra las activistas de Students for Life—utilizando una de las mismísimas leyes cuyo objetivo es negarles a las tejanas como ella el derecho a abortar. Maria está siendo representada por abogados de “Amplify Legal,” la división de litigios de la organización “Abortion in America.”

Texas forced her to give birth—twice. Now she’s fighting back.

When Maria Puerto (a pseudonym) got pregnant at 22, despite using birth control, she had no options. She lives in Texas, where abortion is illegal, and couldn’t afford to travel out of state to access abortion care.

The pregnancy cost her the job and scholarship she was relying on. When she became unexpectedly pregnant again a year later, her boyfriend disappeared. Today, she is financially “ruined”—unable to work because she can’t afford childcare, and unable to secure independent housing for her and her two kids.

“I was so young, with every direction in life still an open possibility,” Maria explains. “But…Texas laws chose my way for me.”

Maria is fighting back. She’s filed a lawsuit against Students for Life—using one of the very laws that seek to deny Texans like her the right to an abortion. She is represented by Amplify Legal, the litigation arm of Abortion in America.

Head to wearethemeteor.com/mariapuerto (or the link in bio) to learn more about Maria’s story and her lawsuit—and how you can help support her and her family.

When Roe v. Wade was overturned, Synclaire made a video about her abortion experience and posted it on social media. It was the very first video she had ever filmed.

A couple weeks later, a classmate reached out to Synclaire asking for help. Synclaire supported her through her decision to have an abortion, turning her own experience into a lifeline for someone else.

Imagine finding out you're pregnant at the same time you realize that this pregnancy is a result of a sexual assault—and before you have a chance to process, you immediately have to throw yourself into the logistics of fleeing your state for the care you need. That's what Arkansas' abortion ban did to Allison.

That is why she is suing to strike it down.
