Two Texas women ask feds to ensure hospitals offer life-saving abortions despite state ban
Two Texas women who were denied abortions to end life-threatening pregnancies have petitioned the federal government to require the state's hospitals to provide emergency abortion care for patients at risk of dying if forced to carry a fetus to term. The Center for Reproductive Rights represented the women in separate filings made Monday with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The patients, Kyleigh Thurman and Kelsie Norris-De La Cruz, maintain that they nearly died after being repeatedly turned away by two separate hospitals.
