Texas women denied abortions for #ectopic #pregnancies
☀️demand federal investigation
Two women say hospitals violated emergency care laws by denying treatment for life-threatening condition
Two Texas women who were denied abortion care for life-threatening ectopic pregnancies have filed complaints with the Biden administration calling for investigations into the hospitals for violating federal law.
An #ectopic #pregnancy is a dangerous condition in which the fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus.
♦️It has no chance of developing into a healthy pregnancy.
👉One of the complaints details how Kyleigh Thurman, a 25-year-old woman from Burnet, Texas,
was turned away at Ascension Williamson hospital in February, ⚠️even though her OB-GYN told the hospital she probably had an ectopic pregnancy.
Days later, she returned, #bleeding and in severe #pain, but only received treatment after her OB-GYN traveled to the hospital
“to plead with the medical staff” to terminate Thurman’s ectopic pregnancy.
However, 💥the delay caused her ectopic pregnancy to rupture.
🔥Thurman nearly bled to death and was forced into emergency surgery to remove her fallopian tube.
Her ability to have children is now compromised.
👉According to the second complaint, Kelsie Norris-De La Cruz experienced a similar harrowing ordeal at Texas Health Arlington Memorial hospital, outside Dallas.
By the time she received treatment, her pregnancy was near rupture.
💥Norris-De La Cruz lost a fallopian tube and most of her right ovary.
♦️Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester, comprising up to 10% of all pregnancy-related deaths nationwide.
“Despite the fact that my life was clearly in danger, the hospital told me that they could not help me.
I ended up losing half of my fertility and if I was made to wait any longer, it’s very likely I would have died,” said Norris-De La Cruz in a press release
I just made my post about these sticky notes and my #StickersAndStamps project public.
The idea is that I send some of these out to folks who request them as part of my #StickersAndStamps project, and they stick them up in places where people can see them.

My colleagues at University of Aberdeen are looking for input from people who have experienced an #ectopic pregnancy in the last 5 years to help them design research into new treatments. If interested please email kelly.grey@abdn.ac.uk or a.woolner@abdn.ac.uk
