Maggie Tamposi Goodlander gave birth to her stillborn son in a hotel bathtub on Easter. Doctors recommended a two-day procedure to remove him, with an overnight stay at a hotel near the hospital. The procedure that Ms. Goodlander needed is also commonly used for abortions later in pregnancy. Her surgery came just a day too late: Ms. Goodlander, 37, delivered the baby in 2023 at a hotel near the hospital, relying on her experience taking a hypnobirthing course on YouTube. The national security adviser to the president, Jake Sullivan, was there, too — in his unofficial capacity, as her husband.
