An ultrasound technician had just told Rachel Tittle that she was carrying a baby girl when things went terribly wrong. “They told me my baby's abdomen was full of fluid — and if nothing changed very soon, it was going to stop her heart,” Tittle told The Washington Post, recalling the 2011 incident. But she does fear that a new bill introduced in the Texas Senate could lead to more unborn babies like her own dying unnecessarily. Tittle told lawmakers her story when she testified recently before the Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs against Texas Senate Bill 25. He added that, by limiting legal consequences, the bill could encourage doctors to commit what he characterized as medical malpractice.
