One woman miscarried in the restroom lobby of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency room couldn't offer an ultrasound. The baby later died. Complaints that pregnant women were turned away from U.S. emergency rooms spiked in 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, federal documents obtained by The Associated Press reveal.

The cases raise alarms about the state of emergency pregnancy care in the U.S., especially in states that enacted strict abortion laws and sparked confusion around the treatment doctors can provide. “It is shocking, it’s absolutely shocking,” said Amelia Huntsberger, an OB-GYN in Oregon. “It is appalling that someone would show up to an emergency room and not receive care — this is inconceivable.”

WTF does any of those cases have to do with abortion?

More unverified BULLSHIT from DailyKOS. Skewey must be on the payroll.

"In what states?" is relevant.

Don't blame this on abortion. This has nothing to do with abortion. It's socialized medicine....death panels.
If you let the Dems take over it's only going to get worse.
When everyone gets put on government health insurance (Obamacare) the quality of health care will go way down and the costs will skyrocket.
In Canada there are times you simply have no choice in the kind of health care you can get.
If you want to get a hip replacement they'll say you're too old and just take pain pills until you die.

Sounds more like unrelated correlation instead of causation. Why where the women refused to be admitted?
 
More unverified BULLSHIT from DailyKOS. Skewey must be on the payroll.
a quote from the AP article that the KOS lifted their story from:

Pregnant patients have “become radioactive to emergency departments” in states with extreme abortion restrictions, said Sara Rosenbaum, a George Washington University health law and policy professor.
“They are so scared of a pregnant patient, that the emergency medicine staff won’t even look. They just want these people gone,” Rosenbaum said.

Consider what happened to a woman who was nine months pregnant and having contractions when she arrived at the Falls Community Hospital in Marlin, Texas, in July 2022, a week after the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion. The doctor on duty refused to see her.
“The physician came to the triage desk and told the patient that we did not have obstetric services or capabilities,” hospital staff told federal investigators during interviews, according to documents. “The nursing staff informed the physician that we could test her for the presence of amniotic fluid. However, the physician adamantly recommended the patient drive to a Waco hospital.”
Investigators with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services concluded Falls Community Hospital broke the law.
Reached by phone, an administrator at the hospital declined to comment on the incident.


The investigation was one of dozens the AP obtained from a Freedom of Information Act request filed in February 2023 that sought all pregnancy-related EMTALA complaints the previous year. One year after submitting the request, the federal government agreed to release only some complaints and investigative documents filed across just 19 states. The names of patients, doctors and medical staff were redacted from the documents.

Federal investigators looked into just over a dozen pregnancy-related complaints in those states during the months leading up to the U.S. Supreme Court’s pivotal ruling on abortion in 2022. But more than two dozen complaints about emergency pregnancy care were lodged in the months after the decision was unveiled. It is not known how many complaints were filed last year as the records request only asked for 2022 complaints and the information is not publicly available otherwise.

My thought is that it was some knee-jerk reactions to possible liability.

This does not happen often..and it's only happened in 19 states..As far as we know.

One time is too many..everyone should get emergent care upon presently themselves at an ER.

We don't have socialized medicine.
 
Roe vs Wade has nothing to do with admissions to clinics, hospitals, or emergency rooms.

Regardless of whether you have money or insurance or not........healthcare facilities that are NOT privately owned, are, by law, supposed to give aid and assistance to anyone asking for it.

This is what happens when the government creates lazy and greedy people, in order that organizations and companies can start setting the laws THEY want, to help THEM give less and charge more............because they know the lazy and overstuffed people aren't going to get up out of their recliners and hang them from the nearest tree.

There is something to be said about the OLD ways of handling corruption in government and business.

Coincidentally, this coincides with the spike in illegal immigration and as we all know, emergency rooms are being used by the illegal aliens as primary care for things as simple as a cold.

Illegal immigration has destroyed care at emergency rooms from California to Florida, to include many other states.

Illegals have destroyed everything..........as well as those who allowed them in.


You have to go thru TSA to ride a fucking plane.............but anybody can just walk/drive across the border.
