Former Miss South Carolina Jill Hartle was forced to carry a non-viable fetus for 7 weeks, and now she’s telling her story in hopes of spreading awareness of the trauma she endured.
When Roe v. Wade overturned in June, Jill and her hubby Matt Hartle were 14 weeks into the pregnancy of their daughter, Ivy Grace. The couple were furious with the Supreme Court‘s decision — like everyone with basic empathy was and still is — but little did they know the overturning would affect them directly. The pageant queen told People on Friday even though she was raised conservative and aligns herself mostly with the Republican party — she is firmly pro-choice:
At the couple’s 8-week scan everything looked great — but sadly around 12 weeks is when they found out their unborn daughter was suffering from a developmental complication:
In case you’re not familiar, HLHS is a birth defect that affects normal blood flow to the heart. The fetus was non-viable — their baby would most likely never survive outside of the womb and if so, the suffering and surgeries the family would have to go through would be unbearable. And neither Hartle wanted that:
But due to Roe v. Wade, one month earlier South Carolina’s laws banned abortion after 6 weeks — with some exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother — but none for birth defects. The couple were immediately sent to the Medical University of South Carolina Health‘s University Medical Center who advised them to wait another month to see the severity of the condition. They agreed, but sadly they only got worse news after the tests.
