The prolife party kills again

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 overturnedRoe 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 abortionlaws 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.”

Many of the states who have banned and criminalized abortion were already among the ones who had the highest prenatal deaths and worst overall healthcare outcomes in the nation. BEFORE roevwade was ever overturned. 

 

It's not surprising that States and politicians that didn't care about the healthcare of their citizens back then didn't suddenly reverse course now.
