There are only a few places in the country where a mother can have an abortion in the third trimester. Maryland remains one of those states.
According to a press conference held by the Maryland Coalition for Life in Germantown, MD it was announced that a 29-year-old woman died at a local hospital as a direct result of complications from a third trimester abortion. According to LifeNews.com the woman was at the end of a four day abortion procedure when she developed chest pain and other medical symptoms. The family took her to a local Emergency Room where she subsequently died. It is reported that the Maryland Examiner’s Office will investigate this death.

Per 100,000 abortions, the relative risk of abortion-related mortality was 14.7 at 13–15 weeks of gestation, 29.5 at 16-20 weeks, and 76.6 at or after 21 weeks.
