Frances Vinall: Women claim Texas hospitals denied them abortions for ectopic pregnancies: Two women filed complaints against #Texas hospitals they allege turned them away for emergency care, risking their lives and violating federal law.
"Two women have filed complaints against two Texas hospitals for allegedly denying them treatment for ectopic pregnancies, which they say put their lives at risk and breached federal law.
In a complaint to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Kyleigh Thurman said that in February 2023, Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital in Round Rock, Tex., discharged her without treating her ectopic pregnancy or transferring her to another hospital. It denied her treatment again when she returned days later with vaginal bleeding, she said."
