“Donald Trump's senior adviser Jason Miller says that under a second Trump presidency, "it's 'going to be up to the states' whether or not they set up regimes to monitor women’s pregnancies so they can prosecute them for getting out of state abortions."

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
#TX Sends Millions to Crisis #Pregnancy Centers. It’s Meant to Help Needy Families, But No 1 Knows if It Works. Yr aft yr while #RoeVWade was law of and, Texas #legislators passed measures limiting access to abortion — who could have one, how and where. And with the same cadence, they added millions of dollars to a program designed to discourage people from #terminating #pregnancies. #WomensHealthcare #legalresearch #SCOTUS #SupremeCourt #courts #legislation #pregnancy https://www.propublica.org/article/texas-funding-anti-abortion-crisis-pregnancy-centers
The unreported #petition reflects a potential new #antiabortion #strategy to #block #women from ending their #pregnancies in #states where #abortion is #legal.
Many people are aware that a second term for Donald #Trump would be unspeakably #bad but if you’re looking for more specifics on exactly how bad, then today’s your lucky day. Included are state laws allowing the #government to #track individual women’s #pregnancies so that anyone who violates #abortionlaws can be #punished.
#Trump would let red states monitor #women’s #pregnancies & prosecute those who violate #AbortionBans. He would, at his personal discretion, withhold funds appropriated by #Congress, acc/to top advisers. He would be willing to fire a US Attorney who doesn’t carry out his order to prosecute someone, breaking w/a tradition of independent #law enforcement that dates from America’s founding.

#Supreme Court considers restrictions on an #abortionpill March 26 #Supreme Court will take up a case that could roll back #access to the abortion pill known as #mifepristone, as women increasingly rely on medication to end unwanted #pregnancies. At issue is whether #FDA acted reasonably in adopting rules that made it easier to obtain the drug since 2016. Ruling expected by July could affect #abortionaccess for millions of #women. #SCOTUS #womenshealth #privacy #legalresearch #Dobbs

“Texas saw an estimated 26,313 rape-related pregnancies during the 16 months after the state outlawed all abortions, with no exceptions for survivors of rape or incest, according to a study published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.”
""If #Alabama is going to make an exception for one kind of #embryo that is outside of the uterus, they should apply it across the board to protect women’s health and their ability to have a family.... #Ectopic #pregnancies are not viable and pose a serious risk of death to the mother, exacerbated if prompt care following diagnosis isn’t available." - Joyce Vance
"Kelsie Norris-De La Cruz tried not to cry as the doctor in the emergency room delivered one of the most frightening diagnoses a pregnant woman can receive.
The 25-year-old college senior was told she likely had an ectopic pregnancy, a highly dangerous condition where the embryo implants outside of the uterus. Without immediate treatment, the fallopian tube can rupture — and the patient can die.
The law that has prohibited abortions in Texas since Roe v. Wade was overturned now explicitly allows doctors to treat #ectopic #abortion #pregnancies. But when doctors at Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital evaluated Norris-De La Cruz last week, they refused to terminate the pregnancy, saying there was some chance the pregnancy was still viable, Norris-De La Cruz recalled. Instead, they advised her and her mother to go home and wait, according to medical records reviewed by The Washington Post."
