Texas hospital that discharged woman with doomed pregnancy violated the law, a federal inquiry finds
SUMMARY: A Texas hospital violated federal law by repeatedly sending Kyleigh Thurman home despite her life-threatening ectopic pregnancy, resulting in severe complications and partial removal of her reproductive system. A 2023 federal investigation found the hospital failed to provide proper emergency care as required by law. The Biden administration’s 2022 guidance mandated emergency abortions in life-threatening cases, helping hold hospitals accountable. However, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently revoked that guidance, raising concerns about ongoing access to emergency abortions, especially in restrictive states like Texas. Thurman fears many women with dangerous pregnancies may still be denied critical care.

South Florida to see less showers in the coming days
SUMMARY: South Florida will see fewer showers in the coming days as a frontal boundary moves south, reducing rain chances from 50% to around 30-40% through Sunday and Monday. The atmosphere’s moisture is dropping, ending recent heavy rainfall and flooding. Showers will be scattered and lighter, unlike the intense storms earlier. Dry air behind the boundary will bring a needed break, allowing soil to recover before rain chances increase midweek. The tropics show a 40% chance of development in the eastern Atlantic, but it’s expected to move northward without impacting Florida. Overall, the weekend looks better with less rain and improving conditions.
