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.”

This is who we are now?

If she wanted an abortion and could not obtain one all hell would have broken out in the media and on the political scene

However, causing a woman to lose her child is what they are all about, so no one cares.

Many "healthcare systems" don't even build hospitals away from their main campus with maternity services anymore due to liability.

Usually they are toted to the main campus for such things......A $1600.00+ 20-odd mile ride in my AO's case.

And yep it's all about liability.....If the preggers woman has it during the ride the system is protected from liability due to the emergency personnel on board that can deliver the kid if need be.

Sure it's fucked-up but that's the "lookin' to get paid" world we live in now.

This is why the Daily Kos can't be trusted. This emergency room didn't so much refuse to treat this woman as it is ill equipped to treat obstetrics.

Read the reactions to your mindless original post , De CrepitUS .

The lack of logic by the OP is apparently shared by you and your inability to understand a simple example of faulty reasoning .
I am beginning to feel sorry for you as I gradually realise that your handicap is real and serious .
Do you also read The Guardian and live in Wales ?

If women don't ever get pregnant, problem solved

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.

EMTALA was initially introduced decades ago because private hospitals would dump patients on county or state hospitals, often because they didn’t have insurance, said Alexa Kolbi-Molinas of the American Civil Liberties Union.
