"Rosie Jiménez, a young, working-class, Chicana student and single mother, [is] the first documented victim of the Hyde Amendment. She was six months away from graduating with her teaching credential when she found out she was pregnant. Rosie visited a doctor in her hometown of McAllen, TX, seeking an abortion. He refused to perform the procedure because Medicaid no longer reimbursed for abortion care. Desperate and with little cash, Rosie went to Mexico where she obtained an unsafe, illegal abortion. She die[s] from the procedure soon after" (Forward Together, 2023).
