A Texas family has filed a lawsuit after Tierra Walker, 37, died of preeclampsia while 20 weeks pregnant.
The suit alleges that Texas' abortion ban led to her death. Attorney General Ken Paxton and other doctors are named in the case.
Walker’s family says state law and the medical response to her pregnancy complications were factors in her death. The available evidence identifies preeclampsia as the cause of death and says the family is seeking accountability through the lawsuit.
Details about the court filing, the doctors named, and any responses from the defendants were not included in the available reporting.
