was sent home with an ectopic pregnancy clearly visible in my ultrasounds sent home to let it go off inside of me and internally hemorrage and potentially die if I had been given information sooner then I could have made a decision that could have saved my right tube having my symptoms be dismissed my pain be dismissed it’s unacceptable the reason that we believe may be behind this is Texas’s abortion bands it is perfectly legal under Texas law to provide treatment for an atopic pregnancy that is a clear exception to Texas’s abortion bans but as long as abortion is banned with criminal penalties a doctor who provides an abortion in Texas in violation of the ban faces life imprisonment hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and loss of their medical license as long as abortion is criminalized doctors are terrified to provide Essential Health Care to their patients
