Texas Women Who Lost Fallopian Tubes, Ovary in Ectopic Pregnancies File Complaints

What: The Guardian digs into two specific complaints filed by women in Texas who say they were “denied abortion care for life-threatening ectopic pregnancies” and are “calling for investigations into the hospitals for violating federal law.”

Why it matters: Both women had ectopic pregnancies, and both ruptured or got so close to rupturing that they lost a fallopian tube and in one case, an ovary. Their ability to have children in the future is now compromised, and they were forced into a life-threatening health event for no medical reason.
