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.”
Waco hospital is just over 30 minutes from Falls Community.
I am wondering why a 9 month pregnant woman would go to a hospital that does not have OB services. Did she not have any prenatal care and know what hospital she was scheduled to deliver at? I would never dream of showing up at a hospital with no OB services and expect them to deliver a baby.
Police officers and EMTs deliver babies on the side of the road. A hospital can't handle doing this? Give me a break.
Childbirth is straightforward until it isn't, and there sometimes isn't much warning for that. If bad outcomes happen on the side of a road with a police officer, it's "bad luck" and "at least everyone tried." If it's within a hospital doors, it's "this is a hospital" and "weren't you trained in medical school to deliver babies?" Doesn't matter if that was 20 years ago, and this is a septic woman with an infant stuck in the canal, heart decelling, and no forceps.
What does this have to do with hospitals turning pregnant women away even when they do provide labor and delivery and not transporting women when they do not provide labor and delivery? All I see here I a forced birther trying to change the story.
But the story is: forced birther “medical care” is inferior in all aspects and it’s killing women, infants and soon every patient in forced birther states as they lose doctors and medical coverage.

Unintended consequences of "pro-life" policies. The "forced birthers" are causing forced birth of dead babies.
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.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/emergency-rooms-refused-treat-pregnant-040150594.html
That seems to violate federal law. Why is it that forced birthers have no problem going after hospitals, but prochoice advocates are cowards?
https://www.cms.gov/medicare/regulations-guidance/legislation/emergency-medical-treatment-labor-act
Did you read the article? It’s based entirely on investigative reports from CMS finding violations of federal law.
Federal law requires emergency rooms to treat or stabilize patients who are in active labor and provide a medical transfer to another hospital if they don’t have the staff or resources to treat them. Medical facilities must comply with the law if they accept Medicare funding.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday that could weaken those protections. The Biden administration has sued Idaho over its abortion ban, even in medical emergencies, arguing it conflicts with the federal law.
But the state's attorney general has argued that its abortion ban is “consistent” with federal law, which calls for emergency rooms to protect an unborn child in medical emergencies.
"The Biden administration has no business rewriting federal law to override Idaho’s law and force doctors to perform abortions,” Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador said in a statement earlier this year.

What if you don’t have a car? Once you’re in active labor, it might be harder to take several buses and walk half a mile, like you would if you weren’t having contractions.

The staff failed to tell her how risky it could be for her to depart without being stabilized, according to federal investigators. While en route to another hospital 45 minutes away, the woman gave birth in a car to a baby who did not survive.
