US EditionTexas hospital that sent woman home with nonviable pregnancy violated the law, federal inquiry finds
- A Texas hospital sent Kyleigh Thurman home multiple times in February 2023 despite her nonviable, life-threatening ectopic pregnancy.
- This occurred after Texas enacted a strict abortion ban and amid federal guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions for medical emergencies.
- CMS investigated Ascension Seton Williamson and concluded the hospital violated federal law by failing to conduct an adequate medical screening and stabilizing treatment.
- Thurman underwent partial removal of her reproductive organs following a ruptured fallopian tube, attributing the hospital's inadequate care to state policies and legislative decisions.
- The federal findings represent a rare enforcement against hospitals denying emergency abortions in Texas, raising concerns about ongoing patient risks under abortion restrictions.
