Orangeburg, South Carolina KFF Health News —Amari Marsh had just finished her junior year at South Carolina State University in May 2023 when she received a text message from a law enforcement officer.
South Carolina state Rep. Seth Rose, a Democrat in Columbia and one of Marsh’s attorneys, called it a “really tragic” case.
But at the hospital, Marsh learned that her infant, a girl, had not survived.
Historically, birth outcomes for Black women in Orangeburg County, where Marsh lost her pregnancy, have ranked among the worst in South Carolina.
She is taking classes at a local community college and hopes to reenroll at South Carolina State University to earn a four-year degree.
