America's war on pregnant women
know that I do not look like the stereotype of who is getting an abortion,” Lauren Miller tells me over the phone from Dallas, Texas.
“I was already a mother, married, with a family. This was a wanted pregnancy.”
She describes her big blonde hair and houndstooth jacket.
“I look like somebody’s grandmother,” she says in a self-deprecating Southern drawl.
In August 2022, Miller could not stop vomiting in the early stages of her second pregnancy.
At eight weeks gestation, she was hospitalised and diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum — a pregnancy complication characterised by severe nausea and vomiting. It was there, dehydrated in the emergency room, that Miller also learned she would be having twins. Together with her husband she excitedly made plans for a bigger car and a supersized stroller.
