Kingston, Pa. ? Tanya Meyers miscarried just hours after a Pennsylvania judge gave her permission to proceed with an abortion that her former boyfriend tried to stop.

Meyers’ mother, Tracey Curry, said Tuesday that her daughter began bleeding heavily Monday evening and was taken to a Wilkes Barre-area hospital, where she was recovering Tuesday. An ultrasound confirmed that she had lost the 10-week pregnancy, Curry said.

Meyers, 22 and the mother of a 2-year-old, has been in a media spotlight since July 29, when her 27-year-old ex-boyfriend John Stachokus obtained a temporary injunction forestalling the abortion. Both of them said he was the father.

The unusual court intervention, which galvanized fathers’ rights advocates as well as abortion-rights supporters and foes, ended with Luzerne County Common Pleas Court Judge Michael Conahan’s ruling on Monday. The judge concluded, after hearing both sides, that Stachokus had no grounds for interfering with Meyers’ constitutional right to end her pregnancy before the fetus could survive on its own. That right has repeatedly been affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Meyers obtained a temporary protection from abuse order against him on July 29. Tuesday, she was scheduled to go to court to seek a permanent order, but the hearing was postponed because of the miscarriage.

Curry said she advised her daughter that dealing with Stachokus over custody of a child would lead to ever-worsening conflicts and fights.

“Tanya said she would make the right decision when the time came,” Curry said. “But God made the decision.”
