Another woman in the U.S. nearly dies because of the Texas abortion ban (www.washingtonpost.com)

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 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.

Well, sort of. If it's like 50% survival rate, it's kind of forced, but saying "there is a slight chance of survival, denied" is kind of on the doctor. I'd wager he could say "she would die if she continues, abort the pregnancy" and most ppl would agree.

Probably his butcheeks are tightened due to fear of going to prison by having someone else examine her and say its good to go? Not sure, it's fucked up anyway.

Most likely, the whole system is corrupt through and through. Who knows, maybe they are getting paid extra for this, or receive benefits.

In the end, it's money in the pockets of those companies.
