Alone and Scared, Want to Live, Yenifer Alvarez-Estrada Glick

“I’m alone and scared. … Where is my mom. … I want to live.” - 27-year-old Yenifer Alvarez-Estrada Glick, texting her husband from an ambulance and the hospital in the weeks before her death from pregnancy-related hypertension and pulmonary edema, according to The New Yorker; an abortion likely would have saved her life, but she was pregnant in Texas, and the Supreme Court had just overturned Roe.

Found in Ms. Magazine, Spring 2024, page 6.
