Texas Hospitals Face Federal Complaints Over Denied Ectopic Pregnancy Treatments

Women allege life-threatening delays due to abortion law fears; fertility and lives at risk.

Two women filed federal complaints after being denied treatment for ectopic pregnancies at Texas hospitals.
Ectopic pregnancies, which are non-viable and life-threatening, require immediate termination to prevent ruptures.
Hospitals cited fears of prosecution under Texas' strict abortion laws as reasons for withholding treatment.
Federal law mandates stabilizing treatment for emergency conditions, which the women argue was violated.
The Center for Reproductive Rights supports the complaints, seeking investigations and penalties for the hospitals.
