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.
