Porsha Ngumezi bled to death as she was miscarrying after her doctor opted against an emergency procedure used to end pregnancies.

The death of 35-year-old Porsha Ngumezi was preventable, according to more than a dozen doctors who reviewed a summary of her case for ProPublica.

A 35-year-old Texas woman required a dilation and curettage after suffering a miscarriage and hemorrhaging. However, because the procedure is also used for abortions, she was unable to receive the proper medical attention and later died from heavy bleeding.
