“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 overturned Roe 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 abortion laws and sparked confusion around the treatment doctors can provide.”

    A lot of older American women, have these stories, this is why Roe vs Wade was so important and should have become part of the constitution. These stories will keep happening as long as Republicans are allowed to keep mixing church and state.

      These will continue happening so long as Republicans are allowed to be in government. Church is an excuse, not the cause. They’re bad people who should not be allowed to govern.

        Although you can’t deny that there is a systemic connection between religions and topics like these.

          Church and state was where we really needed a wall, not Mexico
