A pregnant American woman vacationing in Malta who was denied a lifesaving abortion while miscarrying was able to receive the procedure in Spain on the same day the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.
Andrea Prudente was on her ‘babymoon’ with her partner when her water broke early and she discovered she’d need an abortion
Andrea Prudente, 38, who suffered an incomplete miscarriage while vacationing in Malta is seen with her partner Jay Weeldreyer ‘I was on a stretcher in the plane, focusing on staying calm and chill and to not have my body do anything scary. We understood there was to be a serious risk of hemorrhage during the flight,’ she said.
‘They gave me that first pill that night, which was heartbreaking and hard to emotionally take,’ she said. ‘Later they started the tablets and I labored for eight hours, delivering early Saturday morning.’
