For what its worth, pulmonary hypertension can be treated during pregnancy with a variety of medications. I am unable to find a case report of an early gestation such as this causing an acute exacerbation in pulmonary hypertension (even preexisting). Obviously the article leaves out a lot of patient information for privacy reasons but it makes me wonder if this abortion was really medically necessary.

IMO someone with a severe condition such as primary pulmonary hypertension shouldn’t have gotten pregnant in the first place. No reason to kill a fetus for mom’s mistake. By the same token there’s no reason to kill mom for her mistake either. Rock and a hard place.
