Texas women denied abortions for ectopic pregnancies demand federal investigation

Two women say hospitals violated emergency care laws by denying treatment for life-threatening condition

Two Texas women who were denied abortion care for life-threatening ectopic pregnancies have filed complaints with the Biden administration calling for investigations into the hospitals for violating federal law.

An ectopic pregnancy is a dangerous condition in which the fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus. It has no chance of developing into a healthy pregnancy.
