SUMMARY: A Texas hospital violated federal law by repeatedly sending Kyleigh Thurman home without treating her life-threatening ectopic pregnancy, leading to partial removal of her reproductive system. The hospital failed to provide proper emergency care, breaching the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. Thurman’s case highlighted issues from Texas’s strict abortion bans, which have discouraged emergency abortions even in medical emergencies.

SUMMARY: Tarrant County Commissioners Court, led by Republicans, approved a redistricting map increasing GOP seats with a 3-2 vote. Democratic Commissioner Alisa Simmons, whose Precinct 2 faces major changes, called the map racial gerrymandering and vowed to seek re-election despite a new Republican challenger, State Representative Tony Tinderholt. The map shifts key landmarks like AT&T Stadium out of Simmons’ precinct. County Judge Tim O’Hare claims the map benefits the county and defends its legality, citing Supreme Court rulings on partisan redistricting. Critics argue the changes crack minority districts and violate voting rights. The new boundaries aim to solidify Republican control in Tarrant County.
